My Firefox has auto updated to version 150 but I cannot activate the free VPN as there is simply no button to use.
The Firefox installed on my Compaq CQ58 laptop automatically updated to version 150. I'm told by Firefox that there should be a button in the top right of the screen to activate the new free Firefox VPN tool. The button is simply not there ! How do I start the free VPN without the button ? I am located in France.

I had the same problem. This is what worked for me to fix it: Type “about:config” into the address bar. Then enter “browser.ipprotection.enabled” into the search field. If it's set to “false,” use the arrow button in the top-right corner to change it to “true.”

Thank you very much indeed Mentor54 for your very clear instructions that enabled even a complete computer numbskull like me to fix the problem. I would buy you a beer but you're probably thousands of miles away from the little French village where I live. Thanks again.
The about:config setting works to enable VPN on Windows, but not on a mobile device. Mozilla does not allow standard about:config on Firefox 150, only on Firefox Beta or Nightly. Even then, the Beta or Nightly version does not have a browser.ipprotection.enabled setting at all. I am wondering if it can be added.
It's OK. My problem has been fixed. No need for further suggestions.
