Firefox Community Forum

I am unable to activate the built-in VPN. I am in a loop of getting started -> Activate Firefox’s built-in VPN for extra privacy and protection' then I click 'Continue' and then I get again back to 'get started'. The built-in VPN never activates. I am signed in while doing that and I am using a macbook to run firefox.

Das VPN lässt sich in der neusten Version optisch zwar aktivieren, scheint aber nicht zu funktionieren. Die 50GB bleiben ständig erhalten und reduzieren sich nicht , trotz durch Test´s mit erhöhtem Datenvolumen. Auch erreichen mich bei aktivierten VPN wieder vermehrt SPAM und Ähnliches.

Viele Grüße

Auto updated to firefox 150 yesterday. What's new screen announced the rollout of the free in browser vpn had reached us (in Canada). Clicked the link to set up, went to screen to follow instructions. There's no vpn icon in the firefox menu bar, no matter what I do. (And I have done everything obvious.) Was the VPN not in the actual update I received or is this some bug/glitch? Thanks.

I have installed Firefox VPN, but it is disabled by default so I have to enable it whenever I use it . How can I change the default setting to make it on by default

Hi I'm running Firefox 152.0.1, 64 bit, english version from Italy. From last updates I learned that a built-in VPN is available for users. I looked for it everywhere in Firefox toolbars and menus, but I cannot find it. Am I stupid or VPN can be unavailable in my local version of Firefox? Thanks!

Pressing the VPN button on my browser allows me to star or stop vpn o,k. but I would like to know how much I have used in the current month so I can be sure of saving some vpn for special sites e.g banking. I would appreciate tour guidance please

hi, whenever i am trying to use the vpn on firefox, i either get a message saying Unable to find the proxy server Firefox can’t connect to the server at facebook.com What can you do about it? Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.

or on youtube, message shows Connect to the internet You're offline. Check your connection.

is there a way to resolve this issue. i currently set up the vpn to Location: Recommended

I am reporting a technical issue regarding the built-in Firefox VPN feature. It was fully functional in my location (Czechia) until June 15, 2026, but it suddenly disappeared from my toolbar and customization menu on June 16, 2026.

Despite following the troubleshooting steps provided in the official help article "Unable to find the built-in VPN in Firefox," the feature remains unavailable.

Here is a summary of the diagnostic steps I have already performed:

- Data Collection settings: Confirmed that "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is enabled.

- About:studies: I have checked my active studies as shown in image_464983.png. There is no "VPN - MVP Beta Holdback" study listed that would explain the removal of the feature.

- About:policies: The Enterprise policy service is inactive, and there are no restrictions blocking IPProtectionAvailable.

- Account management: I have signed out of my Mozilla account and signed back in, but the VPN icon did not reappear.

- Installation: I have performed a clean reinstallation of Firefox, which did not resolve the issue.

I have also checked the toolbar customization menu and the overflow menu, but the VPN icon is not available.

Since this feature was working perfectly until yesterday, could you please investigate if my account profile has been excluded from the current rollout or if there is a regional issue affecting users in the Czech Republic?

I have attached my about:studies screenshot (Screenshot_about_studies.png) for your reference.

The new Firefox built-in VPN, rolled out to Australia this week, is not redirecting to the chosen country location.

Despite selecting either US or UK in the country list, websites are still identifying me as located in Australia.

For example, despite VPN being on and US selected, cunard.com still redirects me to my home location of Australia (see https://www.cunard.com/en-au in address bar). Screenshot attached. Other websites similar.

Hello, I am experiencing an issue where the built-in Firefox VPN feature has completely disappeared from my browser interface. I cannot see the icon on the toolbar, and the feature is not active. Could you please clarify if this feature has been geo-restricted or temporarily disabled for certain regions, or if there is another hidden preference I need to modify to restore it? Thank you for your assistance.

i want to try the new vpn option, but i cant see the vpn option in the costumize toolbar options. the help page directing there, but the option itself is not there.
