When navigating to the site https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer with Firefox's built-in VPN turned on and the Location set to the United Kingdom the site still displays the message "Sorry, BBC iPlayer isn’t available in your region.". Why is this, and how can it be fixed?

I am interested in using the built-in VPN. The directions say to turn on VPN in Firefox I should go to the VPN setup prompt in the top-right corner of the Firefox toolbar, or the VPN icon. There is nothing about VPN in my toolbar. I am running 153.0.1

The free native VPN stays enabled when I launch Firefox at the start of every day after turning on my Desktop PC, but the problem is that despite the VPN itself being 'on', it's not actually 'on'.

To make the actual VPN work I need to turn the VPN 'off' and then turn the VPN back 'on' again.

I know for a fact that the VPN doesn't instantly work at launch by default because I use the VPN to bypass the age verification popup message on https://www.reddit.com

The age verification popup message appears on Reddit when the VPN is claimed to be 'on'.

So like I said, when I turn the VPN 'off' and then back 'on' this makes the VPN actually work like normal.

It's annoying having to switch the VPN 'off' and then back 'on' every time I fire up Firefox to the foreground for the first time.

Can this bug be fixed?

I've enabled the FireFox VPN in my browser, but it's annoying because I have to turn on the VPN every time I start FireFox! Why does the VPN not start automatically? I've searched all the options, but there doesn't seem to be one to fix this problem.

I just wanted to make sure my vpn will work on keeping all my information protected so I don't get hacked and have my personal information all over the dark web thank you for looking into this for me

When I press F9 (browsing mode), the VPN automatically turns on. Why is this? This happens even if the VPN was previously disabled on that website!

It's also unclear why I enable the VPN on one website, but it automatically turns on on all the websites I visit. Why? I don't understand! I only need it on one website! I have to constantly disable it! Sometimes websites won't open because of the VPN. But I don't always remember that I have it enabled! Very inconvenient!

I would like to restrict VPN to specific sites which have privacy issues. When I turn VPN on for a site I have opened, it states it will keep it on for that site. However, as I close it and do other work, when I return to that site, the VPN is off. Instructions for VPN show how to keep it from sites, but is there a more positive way to insure it will be attached to a site? Thank you.

Can you safely run Norton VPN (WireGuard) and Firefox VPN at the same time on the same Windows device. Is there any increased risk of routing collisions, adapter conflicts, DNS leaks, dropped connections, or other issues for using both.

VPN is on. I can't access the internet. Error message is either: An error occurred during a connection to www.thewindowsclub.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

Or: Connect to the internet You're offline. Check your connection.

I've googled the issue but it talks about ports and tunnels and going into settings. I've looked in the VPN Mozilla settings and there only seems the option to either include or exclude a website from the VPN. Nothing about different ports and testing. I've already written this message once but the VPN was on so it disconnected the internet and I lost this message! Trying a 2nd time now without the VPN

Any help? Or should I give up with it?

thanks Annie

Firefox does not recognize that it is gone too automatically update my window. I need help to put the latest VPN back into my Firefox version 153.0 bc I have tried everything AI has recommended and I still don't have it. I may have deleted the hidden files too. Should I just delete all of Firefox and download the latest version and let that update itself?

I am using Macbook Air computer with Monterey OS and part of Tahoe OS (I didn't have enough room to download it said I needed 5+ more gigs) and I was already using FireFox version 153.0 BUT I didn't know what that little VPN icon was at the top right of my screen and so I deleted it and everything to do with it. I may also have deleted the hidden files of it. I followed AI to try to recover it, but no luck. The Firefox app itself tells me I already have the latest version, but the entire VPN appears to be gone.

Not sure what else I could have accidentally deleted, but would a complete remove and re-install of Firefox be my easiest and best choice now? I can go no farther with AI, it reached a dead end. Can a Mozilla Firefox techy person please help me with the steps to do this if this is a good idea?

Please do let me know if there is a better / easier way and I can let you know if I've tried that already!

If a customer is already using Mozilla VPN, Firefox should not be offering its own internal VPN. It is counterproductive. A simple test should be written into Firefox.
