Firefox for linux updated and the UK is no longer available in Firefox VPN.
The update about 4 days ago brought this on. Also it pushes you into taking fastest connection available. Now I can no longer watch Channel 4 from the states.

So... Sorry for misleading you a bit.
On September 1, the VPN summer promotion ended, reintroducing traffic cap of 50 GB and reducing the list of available locations. The new list doesn't include UK.
However, you can bring UK (and many other) locations back if you set Firefox as your default browser.

The locations are offered as currently available. I can confirm UK's not currently listed, and it was not related to an update (observed on a system that runs the same version for a few weeks now) but just changed on one restart or service shutdown/start couple days back. It seems related to support.mozilla.org/questions/1602185
Thanks for the reply. I hope Mozilla fixes it soon, I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms from missing the Walter Presents dramas on C4.
For Mark Manson, thanks for the info and hopefully the problem will be fixed. I don't believe they would just drop the UK intentionally.
Hi,
Do you still not see the UK in the list of available locations?
The UK is still not listed as of yesterday. Under Linux Mint you are able to choose your location but the UK is not listed In addition, at least in my southern California location, your only option was to use the recommended fastest location, no listed choices. That was via two different Android devices, tablet and cell, this morning.
Thanks for replying.
Hmm, how are Android devices related?
I should've been more clear with my original post. I have 3 devices, 1 Linux and 2 Android, using Firefox. The UK location is not available on any of them but was before on Linux Mint. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks Denys, I am now watching Walter Presents from Channel 4 in the UK on my Linux Mint laptop. Made FF my default browser and voila the UK is available!
Thanks to all who replied.
