Ubuntu repository is broken

I've installed the apt repo but get the error:

Err:26 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillacorp/mozillavpn/ubuntu bionic Release 

 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.85 80]

Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillacorp/mozillavpn/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Aside from the missing file, why isn't the repo https instead of http?

Same thing here. the latest version of Ubuntu (21.04: hirsute) has no release file for this version. Ubuntu won't permit a different repository. As I (and others) pay for this service, you probably need to update the repository to include a release file.
