Mozilla rolled out Firefox Send to test users way back in August 2017, but it seems the feature was popular enough to warrant a full launch. Now, the tool has its own website, which lets you easily send files up to 2.5GB in size (with an account) to your friends, colleagues, or anybody else.
Mozilla s new tool lets you send self-destructing 1GB files for free
Thanks to modern file-sharing services where file size is hardly an issue. You can easily send multi-gigabyte files without any hassle. You can avail of their free or paid version per your requirements, but they may come with size limitations while their paid versions do not.
XPFE (Cross Platform Front End) is the SeaMonkey frontend. It containsthe XUL files for the browser interface, common files used by the otherparts of the mozilla suite, and the XBL files for the parts of the XULlanguage that are implemented in XBL. Much of this code has been copiedto browser/ and toolkit/ for use inFirefox, Thunderbird, etc.
One of our favorite tools expired in September of 2020, Firefox Send. The service let users send files without creating an account through a trusted source.

We love this site because it doesn't require any personal or login information to use it. But, you can also choose to type a note or upload a file like a picture or a document. Once you visit the website, simply tap in the 'Create New' box to type, or copy and paste content. Or, Upload your file on the left-hand side. The next page will give you a link to copy to your device's clipboard. Paste the link in a text, email, or other service and send it to your contact.When your contact receives it, they'll get a notification that opening the link will result in it's destruction. Upon refreshing the screen or traveling to another app, the note is automatically destroyed. There are two drawbacks to this service, one we can fix, the other we can't. First, you'll need to send this link via an email or texting client. Second, the recipient can easily take a screenshot and keep the note forever.We can't control whether the recipient captures the note, but we can ensure they don't know where it's coming from. Using a fake phone number or a temporary email address will solve the first problem we've listed. Fortunately, we have a full article on how to use a temporary email here.Lastly, you can control how long the content is active and whether your recipient knows it will self-destruct by selecting the 'More Options' at the bottom of the screen.Check the 'Do not ask for confirmation before showing and destroying the note' box if you don't want the recipient to get a warning.

Similar to Privatty it is a free service that doesn't ask for any personal information to use. All you need to do to send your self-destructing message is click 'Upload File' at the top of the webpage. Upload your file and select 'Show Advanced Options' to set your parameters. Click 'Upload Files' and select the platform you'd like to send the message on. SafeNote will not give you a link to copy and paste on any platform you choose. Instead, you'll need to select one of the options listed below the 'Upload Files' button. You can choose Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Email, LinkedIn, Reddit, WA, and Telegram. For ultimate security, you may want to select the Telegram option, we actually have an article here that will help you maintain your privacy.When your recipient receives the message, it'll self-destruct depending on the parameters you've set above. Keep in mind, you can also add password protection to your note. If you'd like to get an email confirmation that your message has disappeared for the recipient be sure to include that on the 'Advanced Options' page before uploading.Lastly, you can send a note too. Instead of attaching a document or file, simply type your message into the 'Private Message' box. SafeNote has a link to TempMail in the upper right-hand corner too.
