Hello-

I cannot find the VPN icon in the tool bar that the activation instructions speak of. Checked Settings as well as the application menu.

I appear to be missing something in the instructions but not sure what.

Thanks

The Firefox built-in VPN is offered in stages to users in the U.S., U.K., Germany and France, as mentioned in the Firefox 149 release notes. It is also offered to users in Canada, starting in Firefox version 150. It is not available to everyone, even if you are in one of these locales.

If the built-in VPN is available, you would see a VPN icon in the top-right corner of the toolbar, that opens a prompt to turn on the VPN. You would also need to sign in to a Mozilla account. For more infomation, see the Use built-in VPN in Firefox article.

If you wish, you can post your feedback about the Firefox built-in VPN to the Mozilla Connect thread.

Thanks for the quick reply. That is what I was wondering but could not figure out how to confirm that it is not available to me at this time.

Your response is appreciated!
