I accidentally deleted my Firefox VPN and everything to do with it and I want it back.

Firefox VPN

Firefox does not recognize that it is gone too automatically update my window. I need help to put the latest VPN back into my Firefox version 153.0 bc I have tried everything AI has recommended and I still don't have it. I may have deleted the hidden files too. Should I just delete all of Firefox and download the latest version and let that update itself?

I am using Macbook Air computer with Monterey OS and part of Tahoe OS (I didn't have enough room to download it said I needed 5+ more gigs) and I was already using FireFox version 153.0 BUT I didn't know what that little VPN icon was at the top right of my screen and so I deleted it and everything to do with it. I may also have deleted the hidden files of it. I followed AI to try to recover it, but no luck. The Firefox app itself tells me I already have the latest version, but the entire VPN appears to be gone.

Not sure what else I could have accidentally deleted, but would a complete remove and re-install of Firefox be my easiest and best choice now? I can go no farther with AI, it reached a dead end. Can a Mozilla Firefox techy person please help me with the steps to do this if this is a good idea?

Please do let me know if there is a better / easier way and I can let you know if I've tried that already!

See if this kb article helps https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-find-built-vpn-firefox


Btw Mozilla refers to it as built-in VPN as Firefox VPN implies it is a standalone app like Mozilla VPN is.

Hi James and thanks for the advice. I did this and the only thing I could do was download the stand alone Mozilla VPN. It is stuck in the top of the Firefox browser page, and not located in my blue bar on the right at the very top. How can I get it up there, please? (I have added an image of what I have on the top right.)

According to the screen shot your built–in VPN is enabled and running.
