With Firefox Relay, all emails sent to your masks are automatically forwarded to your real inbox while keeping your email address private. With a Premium subscription, you can choose to block promotional emails and receive important emails only.

What is promotional email blocking?

⁨Relay Premium⁩ subscribers can enable promotional email blocking. This feature will forward you important emails, such as receipts, password resets and confirmations while still blocking marketing messages. There is a slight risk that an important message could still be blocked, so we recommend that you not use this feature for very important places like your bank. If an email is blocked, it cannot be recovered.

How does Firefox ⁨Relay⁩ detect if an email is Promotional or not?

Many emails are sent with “header” metadata to indicate that they are from list-based automated tools. ⁨Firefox Relay⁩ detects this header data so it can block these emails.

To activate this filter, follow the steps below:

  1. Click the Firefox Relay icon in the toolbar. If you don't see the icon, click the extensions extensions_button button and then click Firefox Relay.

  3. Choose the mask for which you want to block promotional emails.
  4. Click the downward arrow to expand the options for that mask.
  5. Under What emails do you want to block? Drag the slider from None to Promotionals to block marketing emails and spam.
