Block email forwarding to your inbox

- To install the extension, see How do I install the Firefox Relay Extension on Firefox Desktop? for Firefox and Install the Firefox Relay extension on Google Chrome for Chrome.
- Find the mask you want to temporarily deactivate.
- Click the downward arrow to expand the options for that mask.
- Under "What emails do you want to block?" move the slider from None to All to block all emails sent to this mask.
To receive forwarded emails from this mask again, just move the slider from All to None.
Delete an email mask
With a free subscription you can create up to 5 masks and reuse whenever you need them. You can also delete a mask if you no longer want to use it.
Warning:
- Random generated masks:
- After deleting a mask, emails sent to it will no longer be forwarded to your real mail.
- Once you delete a mask, it cannot be recovered. Firefox Relay will no longer forward messages sent to it.
- If you use a mask to log in to sites you care about, you should update your login with a different email address before deleting it.
- Custom domain masks (Premium):
- Custom domain masks will be recreated if an email is sent to them and email forwarding will continue. If you no longer need a custom mask, we recommend disabling it by blocking all forwarded emails instead of deleting it.
To permanently delete a mask:
- Click the Firefox Relay icon on the toolbar and then click at the bottom of the panel.
- If you don't use the Firefox Relay Extension, you can simply open the Firefox Relay page – https://relay.firefox.com/ – and sign in if necessary.
- To install the extension, see How do I install the Firefox Relay Extension on Firefox Desktop? for Firefox and Install the Firefox Relay extension on Google Chrome for Chrome.
- Find the mask you want to delete.
- Click the downward arrow to expand the options for that mask.
- Click at the bottom right to permanently remove that mask.
- A confirmation window will appear informing you that deleted masks cannot be recovered. Check the box to acknowledge the notice.
