This answer from another user 3 weeks ago may help: ''<p>Marc [[#answer-1814013|said]]</p>'' <blockquote>The Firefox built-in VPN is offered in stages to users in the U.S., U.K., Germany and France (starting with version [https://www.firefox.com/firefox/149.0/releasenotes/#:~:text=built-in%20VPN Firefox version 149]), and Canada starting in [[Find what version of Firefox you are using|Firefox version]] 150. It may not be available to you yet, even if you’re in one of these locales, as the staged rollout takes time to reach everyone. 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 [https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/introducing-firefox-s-built-in-vpn-ip-protection-now-in-the/td-p/120550 Mozilla Connect thread]. </blockquote>

Thanks for your reply. My problem turned out to be a setting in about:config that prevented the VPN icon from showing on the tool bar or in settings.

Great to hear this is resolved, thank you for letting us know.
