Firefox Relay by Firefox

by BobbyB, 4 years agoThe relay address does not show as valid on email validators. eg: ipqualityscore dot com and others list it as invalid and disposable even though it does get forwarded.
The problem does not lie with ipqualityscore dot com or others. The problem is with the service which validates the email. Here is the conversation using another validator called centralops dot net.
THE CONVERSATION with https :// centralops.net /co/ ---> The address was rejected! Done today 18-May-2022 12:24 UTC-4
How is any email validating service suppose to reply but "invalid"? "Disposable" email is a judgement call.
OK, I use the free service so I can't complain but if I were to contemplate getting the paid version there is not much incentive to do so if the email will check out as invalid.
Now if you use this email address and the site checks the validity of the email (as it should to avoid spam) then it will see an invalid email

- Rated 2 out of 5by ifarago, a month agoSo many people have been reporting for a long while that the extension doesn't allow use of all 50 granted aliases but only 5. However, a robot auto-replies "Sorry, we'll look into it". Come on, fox-bot, the fix it shouldn't be that complicated. You can do better than that. I believe in you.

- Rated 3 out of 5by anon, a month agoJust signed up, probably works great but even before I've had a chance to use it, I'm already disappointed by the misleading advertising. From the welcome email: "As a Firefox user, you get 50 email masks for free." But from the management page: "4/5 masks available."

Now I discover that one gets only 5 out of the 50 advertised masks. Only one tenth of the promised ones. I don't need 50 but definitely more than 5; I signed up to a lie.
DuckDuckGo lets you have as many as you need, given enough time. You can also reply through them at no cost.
By default Mozilla opts you in sending telemetry data to them and opts you out from filtering e-mail trackers which are the exact opposite settings of what one would do for privacy.
• 20260727 I wanted to try Mozilla Relay out, signed up, and all I get now is blank pages. The extension only links to the same blank pages. Useless. Clearing cache, other browser, restarting, all didn't help either.Developer response

the website still claims 50 free mask, but in reality it is 5.Developer response
