We are testing a new way for <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> users to access their email masks directly from Firefox on numerous sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its launch, <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> has blocked more than 2.1 million unwanted emails from people\u2019s inboxes while keeping real email addresses safe from trackers across the web. We\u2019re always listening to our users, and one of the most-requested features is having <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> directly within the Firefox browser.<strong> <\/strong>And if you don\u2019t already use<em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\"><em>Firefox Relay,<\/em><\/a> you can always sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use your Firefox Relay email masks in Firefox&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the physical world, we limit sharing our home address. Yet, in the online world, we\u2019re constantly asked for our email address and we freely share it with almost every site we come across. It\u2019s our <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> users who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/01\/25\/technology\/personaltech\/email-address-digital-tracking.html\">think twice before sharing their email address<\/a>, using email masks instead of their real email address to keep their personal information safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when a <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> user visits some sites in the Firefox browser and is prompted to sign up and share their email address, they can use one of their <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> email masks or create a new one. See how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/MTQoZYG7s-ATDawV59h37aY06YLRi0Gla04X6jQAydClRusIjGJc_55Yrfzt3zVABrM_HnLTMSWMoWhqAwN7ZT4bOEEpfZceMxciz4XeIFZBUg3BeyQb1r_g8JS9vlQMN2jFC77gvGM_7TGhx9IR4rU\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> email mask or create a new one<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>We hope to expand to more sites and to all Firefox users later this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> users can also opt out of this new feature so that they\u2019re no longer prompted to use an email mask when they come across the pop-up. If they want to manage their <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> email address masks, they can visit their dashboard on the <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a> site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of users have signed up for our smart, easy solution that hides their real email address to help protect their identity. Wherever you go online, Mozilla\u2019s trusted products and services can help you feel safer knowing that you have privacy protection for your everyday online life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay<\/a>, you can subscribe today from the <a href=\"https:\/\/relay.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Relay site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re already one of the many people who use Firefox Relay to save your real email address from trackers and spammers, then we&#8217;ve got a timesaver for you.
