- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13481582, 2 years agoThe extension seems to ignore custom domain for new aliases. So far for me it hasn't been worth much more than the "Manage All Aliases" link. The service itself seems fine.
- Rated 2 out of 5by GP2, 2 years agoThere is no way to remove the stupid icon from every form field asking for an email address. I know I have the addon installed, FFS, I don't need you tacking your gaudy reminder every-effing-where.

posted 2 years agoHi, You can disable the relay add-on icon from showing up globally by going to the add-on in the toolbar, clicking the gear icon, and toggling off "Show relay icon in email fields on websites". I hope that helps! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14326696, 2 years agoLast update breaks font size on Twitch and reddit

posted 2 years agoThis should be fixed now in the latest version! Thank you for reporting. - Rated 2 out of 5by sfin, 2 years agoThe drop down menu should contain options to copy and edit all aliases
Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi sfin thank you for the feedback! Exciting news, just today we released the functionality in the newest version of the add-on where you can sign back in with your existing aliases. Just open the context menu on any email address field (right click on Windows or Control-mouse click on macOS) and you'll see an option to sign in with recent aliases or existing aliases from this site. We hope you enjoy this improvement! - Rated 2 out of 5by zip23, 2 years ago服務本身很好,但是附加元件有點狀況。
在填入欄位時只會跳出新的虛擬信箱,而不會連帶提示既有的;網頁引數設定不正確時則不顯示選單,只能手動輸入。
附加元件本身打開也不會顯示目前使用的信箱狀態,到最後仍然必須使用網頁端操作。 - Rated 2 out of 5by dandy, 2 years ago

posted 2 years agoHi, I'm sorry about this. If the icon isn't working, you can try to right-click and then select "Generate New Alias" in the context menu that appears. - Rated 2 out of 5by Markin, 2 years agoI am not a tech savvy user: I appreciate what this add-on is trying to do but cannot see a way to easily toggle it on and off. I have some trusted websites that I do not want an alias to be created for and I can't tell if its creating aliases for these sites or not.

posted 2 years agoHi, if you click on the Firefox Relay add-on icon in the toolbar menu, then click the gear (settings) icon you can toggle on and off the relay icon. When it's off, in an email field you can right click to generate an email alias. Hope this helps! - Rated 2 out of 5by jonMozzi, 2 years agoThe extension insists on using my old Firefox account email. Currently my account is linked to another email, but whenever I try to log into Relay it shows my old account email.
- Rated 2 out of 5by pennypacker, 2 years agoProvides a useful service, but implementation can be improved. Add-on allows you to generate a new alias from an email field, but this is a use case that is rare.
Much more common I would imagine is to choose an existing alias (from the maximum of 5 provided), and paste that alias into the email field (e.g. signing up for a newsletter). Add-on does not provide that, instead the user has to navigate to Firefox Relay web page, choose an alias, click on copy icon, change back to original tab, right-click the email field, and paste the alias.
6 separate actions, compared to one or two actions if you could right-click on the email field, move to the alias of interest, and click to select and paste.
Implementation is back to front (prioritising a rarely-used feature above an often-used feature) and needs fixing. UX seems to have been designed by developers, rather than humans (no slight against developers). - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15132101, 2 years agoThe relay email was rejected by RYM (RateYourMusic.com). Too bad. Seemed like a great idea!! Also, I see no way to set the Block or Forwarding elements. Suggestions please?
Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks for letting us know about RYM. To enable/disable forwarding, you should see a toggle next to each alias at https://relay.firefox.com/accounts/profile/. - Rated 2 out of 5by Minh Nhat, 2 years agoThe Firefox development team should make Firefox Relay a service like SimpleLogin. You should also turn LockWirse into something like Bitwarden, for example. A lot of people will be willing to pay for good services.
Firefox Relay lacks essential features and has many limitations. - Rated 2 out of 5by Fresco, 2 years agoJust 5 aliases at the max? Almost everyone has loads of accounts and/or newsletter subscriptions. The point of aliases is that with them you can easily find out the culprit whenever such an alias is being abused.
Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi Fresco, Firefox Relay Premium is live and we've removed the 5 alias max. Come check it out. - Rated 2 out of 5by Ivory, 2 years agoI installed it, and tried to connect to a site I already had an account on. When I click on the email address field to of my login, I cannot type anything anymore. I see only the Firefox RElay icon, even my password vault icon disapeared. I have no other choice but using Firefox relay, so I cannot even enter the email address I signed in with to change the address to a generated alias. I had to go to preference to unclick the option "Show relay Icon in email fields on website". Not practical at all.

posted 2 years agoHi Ivory, I'm so sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. We’d love to try and help resolve it for you. Would you feel comfortable sharing the website that you were trying to use? If so, could I kindly ask for you to open an issue in Github and post it there. We’ll take a look.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17015767, 2 years agoIt is blocking me from using my email - @att.net
Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi, sorry you're having this issue. Can you describe more detail about how you're being blocked from using your email? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16462109, 2 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13723667, 2 years agoI like the idea but poorly done. It should list all the email address I have. I should not have to open other page.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12697772, 2 years agoThank you for your reply.
I have 5 different aliases, each one associated to one Relay email account.
My problem is: No matter what Relay email account I use (and, therefore, what alias associated to it), the forwarded emails are always named after the first alias I ever used.
For instance, I have an alias "idealista" for the website idealista.com and another alias "wallapop" for the website wallapop.com, each alias associated to different Relay email accounts, emails from wallapop will invariable be headed as "idealista".
Thank you.
*****
I love this extension but I give 2 stars (for now) because it keeps labeling ALL the emails I get from ALL my aliases after the first nickname I gave to my first alias. I don't know if I'm explaining myself clearly.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi, sorry you're having trouble. Can you describe in more detail the exact steps of the problem you're having? - Rated 2 out of 5by drosseros, 2 years agoUntil Mozilla makes existing emails accesible via right click, I only give 2 stars. There is a create button which you do it once but email you'll always use is hidden. Please hire new UI/UX designer.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Don Dimochy, 2 years agoI don't know how to use my relay alias as a message sender !
Developer response
posted 2 years agoWe don't currently support sending messages with relay aliases. Sorry. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13965393, 3 years agoGreat idea! I haven't actually tried it yet and I'm going to disable it. It's very frequently interfering with the usual "remembered" email addresses/passwords on websites. Specifically, visit a site, email address and password are filled in, click "login" or equivalent, site responds with "enter a valid email address". Sometimes I cannot get past that - I have found a workaround by accident - click twice. So until this add-on matures, I'll leave on the back burner . . .
Developer response
posted 3 years agoHmm ... you might try disabling the icon in email fields. There's a setting for it in the add-on. Called "Show Relay icon in email fields on websites"
