Since the latest Firefox update, Google thinks I'm a robot. How do I remove thhe Firefox VPN?

randy.aberg

The latest updates added a Firefox VPN toggle to the top of my screen. Now when I search on Firefox Google asks me to verify that II am not a robot. How to I remove the VPN I don't want? I do not want to verify I am not a robot just to search for holiday gifts.

The built-in VPN in desktop Firefox is off by default so this is not the cause. You need to go about a few steps to even turn it on.
