Firefox Relay : Create an email alias

Topic

New Reply

Now called Firefox Relay, it is available globally. A Firefox Account is required to sign-up for Firefox Relay and Firefox users may install the companion extension to better integrate the service into the browser and improve the generation of aliases, e.g. when signing up for a new service.

The main idea behind the service is simple: instead of using your own email address on the Internet, e.g. to sign-up for services, leave a comment on a site, or online shopping, you use an alias provided by Firefox Relay. Email addresses that you reveal on the Internet may be sold, shared, or leaked, and this results in spam, phishing emails, and other unwanted emails being sent to the email addresses in question usually.

The alias forwards any email to the real email address. Aliases may be deleted or disabled at any time, so that unwanted emails won’t reach the user’s email address anymore…
