How do I turn on free built-in VPN in Firefox? Online search suggests 'look for VPN icon in the top-right toolbar', but I do not have it. I am using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11 OS.

Hello there,

I downloaded and installed the new Firefox browser in basis getting a FireFox VPN for free (50Gb a month). However, upon installation and signing, I found that I have no or can't see Firefox VPN of the tool bar to enable.

Can you explain why this is the case.

many thanks ukbabu

Hello, I'm using Firefox 149.0.0 (current is 149.0.2) in France and started testing Mozilla VPN. According to the docs, Location should appear at the bottom of the VPN UI and you should be able to change this Location, what I'm interested in.

I have 'Paramètres' (Settings) instead of the Location/Country.

Is this specific to France ?

Thanks in advance & have a nice day, Marc.

Just found Firefox's (v149.0) VPN button in my toolbar. I turned it on and entered whatismyipaddress.com. I got the message

"Unable to find the proxy server. Firefox can’t connect to the server at whatismyipaddress.com"

If I turn it off FF brings up the page correctly. I get this error msg for any other urls I try to bring up. Ideas?

I want to setup the VPN in firefox but the instructions refer to the VPN icon which is not visible to me. When I try to add it to the toolbar the instructions say to click more tools from the menu at the top right, but there isn't a selection called more tools.

Bonjour, J'essaie d'installer le vpn intégré et quand je clique sur démarrer ça ne démarre pas !!! La flèche reste une flèche et rien ne se passe... Je n'ai rien dans la barre de menu ni dans la personnalisation.

I'm trying to cancel my mozilla vpn under this email but it's not showing up. I can't remember if I made an account at that time or just made the purchase. The vpn was for Linux, but right now I'm using Windows, is there a way to carry the program over? or do I just cancel?

when i open my mozilla vpn there is no longer a panel. to select diffent locations .am i doing something if so let know what the problem is so i do not have to buy some other vpn

When I enable the firefox built-in vpn I have an error: "The proxy server is not found

Firefox cannot connect to the server at accounts.firefox.com What can you do?

Try to connect to another device. Check your modem or router. Log out and reconnect to Wi-Fi."

Thanks.

I just noticed the VPN option. Previously I used another VPN, not for privacy, but to give me a UK IP address so that I could access BBC videos which are normally available only if you are in the UK, and thereby get a UK IP address. I took only the free 1 day trial, not wanting for pay for it, and it worked. However with Mozilla VPN, I still get the message 'This content is not available in your location.'.

I just purchased this laptop, supposedly running W11. Since installing FF on it, I have been having two windows open. The first is listed as original profile. Either a few seconds later or some time later, another window opens. With it, a VPN opens. The best I can tell, the original profile may or may not have a VPN open.

I actually prefer the second one, since it is most like the W10 FF I had. The original is blank except for the FF search window.

Why is this happening?

Also, please be patient and treat me like a newbie. It took a long time for me to get W10 and this is completely new to me. Even basic things are taking time to find now.

Thanks,

When connecting to school wifi, it detects firefox VPN and doesn't allow me to do anything on the internet and I always end up having to use my mobile hotspot, which I have limited use of. Is there a way to remove the feature from firefox or fully disable it to where it's not active even just to let me enable it? It's driving me nuts.
