i've been trying to look for the advertised built in firefox vpn but all instructions fall short when there is no vpn sign up icon showing up in my toolbar. i also tried looking for it in the customize toolbar but it also not there. i would like to enjoy the perks of being a firefox user, this built in vpn would be great if it worked like how you described it would work. please check the articles being published if it is accessible to all users because this article is posted for a while now i have just been waiting for an update that would make it work but it still doesnt. if there is an actually working built in vpn then that would be great, if my firefox account cant access it then that would be fine also but the article should also state the reason why i cant. because ive been trying and hoping ever since the first notif for that vpn. so please check what the reason would be. thank you

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn The built-in VPN is currently available in the US, UK, Germany, France and Canada.

Btw Firefox Accounts has been renamed as Mozilla Account since November 1, 2023 to reflect the account is used for multiple places and no longer just used for Firefox Sync.

If you are in one of the five locations and still do not see indication of VPN while logged into Mozilla Account in Firefox then Go to about:config (with a colon  : )

In search bar above search for preference name browser.ipProtection.enabled and make sure it is true
