Hello Mozilla VPN Support,

I recently purchased Mozilla VPN and installed it on my system using the Flatpak version.

My operating system is **Linux Mint 22.2**.

The problem is that the VPN connects successfully to any server, but after a short time it disconnects automatically. This happens with every server I try.

Interestingly, if I use the Mozilla VPN browser extension, it works correctly and stays connected. However, the browser extension does not provide access to all the countries that are available in the full VPN application.

Could you please help me determine why the Flatpak application keeps disconnecting and whether this is a known issue with Linux Mint 22.2 or the Flatpak version?

If you need any logs or additional information, I would be happy to provide them.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards, Nikos

Using the Mozilla VPN, I select a location in the USA. After a few hours, my public IP address / location will be different than what I selected in the VPN app; for example, I select "San Francisco, CA" in the VPN, and a few hours later my email sign-in location (or using mylocation.org) is somewhere in India - that's not even in the list of locations we can select for the VPN. Is my VPN being hacked? I'm using Windows 11 with the latest update and the built-in Windows Security. On my android phone, the VPN location shows as 'Starkville, TN', which is also not on the VPN location select list.

I would like to speed up my Fire Fox and update my Fire Fox to the latest version for my computer. I would also like to stop the errors and slow downs and the message telling me that the internet is telling me that the site is not working or slowing down my internet and i should close my internet.

I use Win10 Firefox 153.0 x64 on my laptop, and any time I select a menu, the background is transparent, so I can't see the actual menu options, I have to guess what they say when selecting them. Please either fix this, or tell me how to fix this.

hello! this may not be an emergency, but im still curious. will the sports widget be updated after the world cup? i think this would be cool if after the world cup people could choose a sports they want to follow (tennis, soccer, formula-1, etc.) and the widgets will show the updates of the following sport. what will be after the world cup ends?

I am suddenly getting ads across websites in Spanish, and my Amazon account flipped to Spanish. I used several IP geolocation services which identified my IP address is assigned to Mozilla Corporation in Queretaro, Mexico, despite my Mozilla VPN being designated United States. How do I solve this problem?

Hello, I noticed that my system disk free space was declining. After some checks I found that underr

C:\Users\François\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wjZDDDl0.Profil 1\storage\to-be-removed

were a lot of directory with GBo of data. In may I deleted all these subdirectories and went from 23 to 33 Go free space Yesterday same thing I went from 25 to 41 Go free space.

Why are these files keeping accumulating and are not removed automatically as per name ? Thanks. I'm using Windows 11 Famille Version 25H2 Installé le 25/11/2024 Build du système d’exploitation 26200.8737 Pack de fonctionnalités Pack d’expérience de fonctionnalités Windows 1000.26100.334.0

and Firefox 152.0.5 (64 bits)

This morning I was signed out of my VPN and it didn't even open when I logged into my PC. I was getting targeted ads when I opened my browser so was confused. Opened the VPN, was logged out and search around the internet, unprotected, to try and gain access again.

Now, what is the point in a VPN if I have to rummage around the internet all the time first in order to hide my presence. Why? was I automatically logged out? Why were the settings on my computer changed such that the VPN was no longer enabled as a start-up app? How often will I be logged out of my account in the future? Why does Mozilla of all companies still think I am logging in from a different location every time when I access my account even without the use of their VPN?

I'll be able to get some peace of mind if these questions are answered and I'll be able to change my provider if not.

Thanks, Dan

Every other day or so VPN attempts to connect to my chosen location and just freezes. Cannot connect, tries to verify connection, and then just hangs. I can't close it, even with Task Manager. I have to reboot my computer (win 10) and that takes 4 minutes and 40 seconds - I timed it. It makes me not want to use the VPN. I have tried asking VPN for recommended sites and even after trying them it still won't connect.

Very Frustrating. Not worth paying for if I can't connect.

Thanks . . . Alan

Also frustrating that I cannot contact support directly but must use this forum. The "make contact " box in the app will not work either.

When using Firefox on my Apple computer I keep getting this message" Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."

This happens even when I try to get to Mozilla.org!!

I still have windows 7 pro on my computer and now I keep getting "Access Denied" from some websites Can your ESL be used on my computer so that I can access my bank; stores, etc.?

VPN isn't working. I'm in Italy for a week, but live in the US and want to sign up for NordVPN in the US today. But, NordVPN wants to charge me Italian tax, and must therefore know my location.

How do I show that I'm in the US?

I suppose this is a kind of support question, of sorts, but in my opinion this also has to be treated as a complaint, in a sense.

About one and a half months ago, Firefox became unresponsive, that is, it became awfully slow. I experienced just about every issue with the browser that was mentioned in the following support pages and support issues (posted by others) and I read all of those :

Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors#w_the-problem-only-happens-with-certain-websites

firefox is extremely slow or fails to load sites

Secure connection and security warning error pages in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-firefox-did-not-connect

An oddball situation had occurred in which I couldn't for the likes of me go to my librarything.com homepage at each restart of the previous Firefox session, which also causes lagging when the session wants to connect to the other (normally unproblematic) website session tabs, and I also get multiple connection errors + insecure connection notifications for some of these websites. (sometimes refreshing a page does not help, sometimes it does)

I got bored reading all those support pages and trying out the solutions, because nothing seemed to help. In the long run, I decided to de-install the whole browser after backing up bookmarks, speeddial settings, passwords and the whole profile. Simultaneously, I also tested the connectivity to these websites in another browser (Brave) and this did not present me with any problem.

So I did the following :

1) deleted the whole cache and closed the browser 2) uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller (which has an option to remove all remnant files / folders/ registry items on the Hard Drive) 3) made sure to remove all cached leftovers from HD by using multiple cleanup tools in succession : 1) Wise Disk Cleaner followed by 2) Bleachbit followed by 3) CCleaner

Went to the mozilla website, downloaded and installed the last version of FF. Next, imported bookmarks, speeddial settings and passwords. Next, reinstalled the Firefox extensions I used before (without any lag until one and a half months ago). I also did NOT copy the stored profile but decided on starting afresh with a new profile.

Everything worked lightning fast and efficiently until a few days ago, when I received an automatic update of Firefox - 151.0.3 - and all of a sudden, the same problems are reoccurring. And again, I can't connect to an unproblematic website like librarything.com, whereas before the update I was able to without any problem !!!

What the hell is going on with these auto-updates ???
