How do I completely remove the VPN software from Firefox?

Firefox VPN

Good morning! I am wondering how to completely remove the new VPN from Firefox. I have been a Firefox user for decades and have bragged about it during that time. However, my frustration level is through the roof since the new VPN attachment has entered my website experience. I am constantly needing to turn the VPN either on or off. I have even begun using a different browser because it is so time consuming to use my favorite Firefox anymore. Can someone please help me to remove the VPN completely off?

You can use Configuration Editor for Firefox (please mind the warnings on that page) to change the configuration value: 

 browser.ipProtection.enabled

to false — that will disable the functionality.

By default the built-in VPN is off or not enabled unless you go about the steps of turning it on.
