When using the built-in VPN, even if you turn off the "use VPN for this site" toggle, the site does not open until you turn off the VPN completely. I have a local company website that doesn't work when VPN is enabled, and I want to use the new built-in VPN with an exception for this website. But after I turn off the "Use VPN for this website" toggle, the website still won't open. The only solution is to completely disable the VPN for the browser.

(Just to confirm: Yes, I'm talking about Firefox VPN, not Mozilla VPN)

Sometimes, I need to let my computer run for a while without using it. This often means that I'll have Firefox open for hours at a time without anything happening.

I've noticed that almost every time after I come back to my computer after hours of inactivity with Firefox VPN turned on, I get the "Secure connection failed" error on EVERY website I try to access, including sites where I specifically disabled VPN for them.

If I try to turn off and turn on Firefox VPN, it fails to turn itself back on after five minutes of waiting. So when I restart Firefox, it's turned off, which is inconvenient since I have pinned tabs which I want the VPN turned on for.

And if I restart Firefox (with or without restarting the computer itself) without doing anything to Firefox VPN, which means the Firefox VPN is still ostensibly turned on when Firefox is shut down, then when Firefox opens again, Firefox VPN is... turned off. This is not the expected behavior, because if I restart Firefox with the VPN turned on without having had any site loading issues, then the VPN is still on when Firefox opens again.

Since Firefox VPN otherwise works fine for me, I'm just restarting Firefox more often now. But I feel like this isn't supposed to happen.

I had the built-in VPN in Firefox enabled. I used it successfully for about a month, but this evening it disappeared from my toolbar. How can I restore access to this feature?

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.

I am trying to use the free VPN in my browser. I have requested IPs in multiple countries and so far all work except the U.S. When I request a U.S. IP address a check shows I am in Chile. When I travel I need a U.S. IP address. What is the issue there?

Hi, I enabled the included Firefox VPN, but it only allows you to choose an entire country, and not very accurately or reliably. The help pages direct me to use Mozilla VPN to do that, so I enabled it, only to be told it's only available on Windows. How can I set my location to something else for a website on a Mac? Thanks.

Some times ago Firefox internal VPN button appeared and this function was very useful. But yesterday this button disapppeared. My location is Russia. I want to return this button back.

I have Firefox 151.0.4 in Canada. Windows 10 Pro. No prompt, no button. Tried repair Firefox by uninstall/reinstall. It completely removed all my extensions but no help with VPN. What can I do to enable this feature?

Next: Turn on VPN

One more step to boost your browser’s privacy. Go to the open panel and turn it on.

And this never goes beyond that.

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.
