Free Built-In VPN is NOT 'ON' after browser restart

TheThingKing

Using the native, browser-only free VPN for Firefox, and enabling via about:config, these settings to 'true':

browser.ipProtection.autoStartEnabled

browser.ipProtection.autoStartPrivateEnabled

browser.ipProtection.features.autoStart

browser.ipProtection.features.siteExceptions

browser.ipProtection.features.siteInclusions

DOES NOT actually turn on the VPN after a browser restart.

The VPN after a restart looks like it is 'ON' - the icon on the toolbar has a green tick, and when I go to click the actual VPN icon itself the VPN says it is 'ON', but when I go to a website where I use the VPN to bypass a age restriction law (like Reddit), the VPN is not working.

I need to re-turn the VPN off and then re-turn the VPN back on again for the VPN to actually work. 

Is there something I'm missing? I want the built-in, free VPN to auto start by default when I launch my Firefox browser.

Hi

I strongly recommend not touching those about:config preferences.

As far as I am aware, the VPN is not currently designed to turn on when you start Firefox.
