Firefox Community Forum

Hello everyone,

For the past few days, I've been seeing the following banner below the address bar on ardmediathek.de :

This website may not work with a VPN. Try signing in or turning VPN off while you use this website.

At first, I assumed this was some kind of anti-VPN or geo-blocking script from the media library itself. However, according to transvision.flod.org it appears to be related to Firefox's ipp-activator-breakage-sign-in-warning feature.

I don't have a VPN, proxy, or DoH enabled, and the VPN button isn't being displayed to me (yet) either. So why is IP Protection interfering here in the first place?

What I think of the ever-growing number of supposedly intelligent services that keep tinkering away in the background and seem to believe they need to take over users' tasks is probably better left unsaid. ;-)

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Best regards, Martin

One Win 10 laptop has Firefox 151.0.4 64bit and I've got the Firefox VPN working on it. My other Win 10 laptop has Firefox 152.0 32bit for some reason, and I've logged on Mozilla but all I can find in VPN requires payment. I don't understand the diff that the higher version is 32bit and I can't find the FREE VPN . What should I do?

I am trying to use the free VPN in my browser. I have requested IPs in multiple countries and so far all work except the U.S. When I request a U.S. IP address a check shows I am in Chile. When I travel I need a U.S. IP address. What is the issue there?

Some times ago Firefox internal VPN button appeared and this function was very useful. But yesterday this button disapppeared. My location is Russia. I want to return this button back.

I have Firefox 151.0.4 in Canada. Windows 10 Pro. No prompt, no button. Tried repair Firefox by uninstall/reinstall. It completely removed all my extensions but no help with VPN. What can I do to enable this feature?

So, I'm not exactly sure what's going on. Whenever I try to turn on Firefox's built-in VPN, either it tells me I cannot connect and to try again in a few minutes, or it just does not respond at all. I know this is vague, but it's literally everything I can muster. I looked through the settings, and nothing there helped.

My browser was recently updated to 150.0.2, and on the new launch page after update describing new features, it prompted me that the new free mozilla vpn was available to try. When I clicked on the link to follow the steps to set it up, it said to click the vpn icon in the toolbar, but I don't see that icon there. When I go to more tools -> customize toolbar to try to find that icon to add it back, it doesn't appear among the toolbar options. Is this something I still don't have access to because it's in a limited beta, or is there some other way I should be accessing this?

Can I not turn it on because of where I am? When I click get started on the VPN extension it opens a tab saying I signed in successfully but when I go to turn it on, there's no toggle switch and just tells me to get started again. It's making me go in a circle with it.

I can't see the Firefox VPN box in my toolbar. I am sure I had it a couple of months ago, but now it seems to have disappeared. So now I am not sure if my Firefox browser is using it or not. Can anyone advise. I am still on Windows 10 supported Microsoft 360 version.

My version 151.0.2 (64-bit) must support built-in VPN but the VPN setup prompt is not found in the top-right corner of Firefox toolbar nor the VPN icon is found in the toolbar. How can I test built-in VPN?
