Firefox-mienskipsfoarum

It was announced under update 150.0.1 that a 50GB Free monthly VPN was available, however this is not the case in Brazil.

Is this a bug? Is there a due data for the activation? Is there any farther configuration needed to make it work?

PC / Win11

Thank you!

I am attempting to use Firefox's new built-in VPN to hide my browsing and use sites that are restricted like Reddit on a common wifi while I am on breaks. It worked on these common wifi systems for a little bit, but last week I believe, it just stopped working one day. Now, when I turn on the VPN, the only thing Firefox will do is display the following error: ~~~~~ Unable to find the proxy server

Firefox can’t connect to the server at [insert url here] What can you do about it?

Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi. ~~~~~ I was originally running Firefox 149 via snap on Ubuntu, but I just uninstalled the snap package and switched to 150.0.1 via the Mozilla APT repository and I am getting identical behavior. Is this just a bug, or is it possible the administrator here has explicitly blocked Firefox VPN? Is there anything else I can do about it, since connecting on a different device doesn't help me, I can't check the modem or router, and disconnecting and reconnecting does nothing?

I enabled the Firefox browser VPN as a test and then disabled it, after the Google search no longer worked.

Error says Google.com is unavailable, can't connect to servers etc.

Any ideas how to fix it ?

I'm in Canada, when i updated the first Firefox instance had VPN show up but when i opened another it did not (the one with my Firefox account). When i opened a third it was also available.

How do i get it on my main profile which has this account, i use multiple Firefox instances to separate my browsing (Reddit, main, shopping).

The Firefox browser VPN option and toolbar button for Firefox 150 was originally showing up after a recent update (was not signed into the browser), but when I signed into the account as needed to activate VPN, the VPN toolbar button and options under security settings disappeared. I can't find the vpn button to add back under the 'customize toolbar setting' as suggested. And when I go under privacy and security settings, the VPN section is no longer there. How do I get the VPN options back? I tried signing out of Firefox and then back in. I tried disconnecting 'sync' from the computer and that didn't change anything either. I've updated the browser on all devices I'm signed into to 150.0.1. The VPN toolbar button or setting option does not show up on any device I am using. The only browser I initially saw the VPN options on was the browser that I wasn't initially signed into, and it disappeared after I signed into the browser with the account.

None of the suggestions at the following help page work to get the VPN options back in the browser settings, or toolbar: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox

I downloaded the new update v150.0 and the new free VPN is not to be found anywhere. I really like this idea and want to try it. I'm thinking of getting the paid version. Though the icon is not showing up anywhere. I am in the US.

bold text Will firefox VPN prevent others (bad guys and government agents) from getting passwords, personal data and account numbers from the sites I visit?

Hello, I'm using Firefox 149.0.0 (current is 149.0.2) in France and started testing Mozilla VPN. According to the docs, Location should appear at the bottom of the VPN UI and you should be able to change this Location, what I'm interested in.

I have 'Paramètres' (Settings) instead of the Location/Country.

Is this specific to France ?

Thanks in advance & have a nice day, Marc.

Hi, I am on Firefox version 150, but I can't see the new free VPN button. I wanted to try it out, but I can't see it anywhere in my settings. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was following https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox , but there isn't a button like it shows
