How to disable firefox relay? (programming.dev)

Firefox just suggested I should use firefox relay. I don't mind suggesting that and do a little advertisement. BUT I have protonpass installed which should do that job. Firefox interferes with my browsing which isn't nice.

Apparently, when the box is not ticked, it doesn't mean that everything within the box is unticked and disabled. When the box is not ticked, you just can't switch their state anymore.

Bug or on purpose?

Anyway, you have to enable asking, then unticking the relay box and then you can disable asking again.

I'm fairly sure that that's unintentional behaviour. I reported it here, but if you have additional info to share there (e.g. your browser version), that would be fantastic: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1870820

Wow! Thqnj you!

Unfortunately I am away from keyboard til Winter solstice. It's the latest flatpak, i.e. 120 . 121 j usda t got released,,,,, that's unlikely it.

it's an extension, right? i would assume it would go away if you uncheck this option in Firefox settings:

i've had this unchecked so i haven't seen it pop up in my use

Unfortunately, lemmy didn't upload the picture with the post. It's not that setting, it replaced proton pass' popup

Ctrl+Shift+A will get you to Add-ons and Themes. Click on Extensions, if it is not already chosen. Among your extensions you should see relay. Click the switch to the right to turn it off or the three dots to remove it completely.

It's not installed, but thx. I already solved it in another comment

What does Firefox relay have to do with saving passwords?

[–] juli@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It suggests using a relay email when logging into a service.

lemmy didnt add following image to the post.
