Hello, I used to have the VPN button but now I don't. I'm on Firefox v158.0 in the USA, on my personal laptop (so no enterprise policies to interfere). Here's what I've tried:

• Customize toolbar: no, the icon isn't in there either
• Start Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode
• Refresh Firefox
• Ensure "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is on
• Sign out and back in to my Mozilla/Firefox account

I miss this feature already because it makes me feel better about using public wifi. What else can I try?

Thanks!

I've been using firefox for a little while- maybe three months now. I'm no expert on any of the config options. I run firefox using the built in VPN that my friend showed me how to enable, and I've been using it since. But now, as of roughly today, whenever I enable the VPN, no websites will load. At all. When I turn it off, they load instantly. But whenever I turn it on, it just gets stuck loading forever and ever, never actually getting anywhere. I tried enabling network.dns.disableIPv6 in the config page, because that's what I saw on a mozilla support page- nothing. Didn't do anything. The browser.ipprotection.enabled is still on, and I didn't change anything in settings. There was a firefox update very recently, but everything still worked with the VPN on. I just updated my computer, but I don't think that's it either because it wasn't loading things earlier today either. Not sure how to fix this. Please help?

I tried to activate the in-built VPN, so I clicked "Get Started", signed in with the Mozilla Account I have, and the VPN pop-up showed up again, but unlike in the support page's tutorial, I was met with the "Get Started" option again. Maybe this error exists because I didn't create an account from scratch then and there? (in the tutorial, account creation was a step).

PS: Why the Linux switch in the attached image? Pewdiepie... I never got to it though...

I have been opening and closing my VPN(different website), but now it won't let me do it. I did what it said to get started and then it tells me to open in the open site. Where do I find the open side? I used to press the VPN shortcut in the upper right corner and it usually worked. Now it just asks me to "Try firefox VPN. I thought that is the one I was using. How do I get it going again.

Hey, for some reason after I click "Get Started." in the VPN tab and sign in, I see the "Next Step: Turn on VPN." I only get put back at the start and have to do the whole process again and again leading me to nowhere. I understand the feature is Beta just want to bring this your attention that's all!

I started to try free 50GB a month Firefox VPN to use the website in Japan (free TV programs only available in Japan but are allowed to watch through VPN). It was working for about a month but now it seems to be blocked. I tried suggested troubleshooting like clearing cash, quitting and opening Firefox, closing VPN, changing location setting and back to Japan etc. Is it because free? It was working when I was subscribing NordVPN. So, it's not the website issue. I would like to know why it is not working now. Thank you

Hi, I recently got the VPN feature on my (Android) mobile browser. But I've never gotten it on my desktop, even though I live in one of the first areas to get it. Is there a way to use the VPN on my mobile for the desktop? Thanks!
