I-Firefox Community Forum

I do NOT want to use ANY VPN services. Since you introduced this, or rather, forced it on me, my browsing experience has been terrible. How do I turn off VPN? There is no VPN icon on my topolbar despite what your instructions say.

Latest android Firefox application downloaded from google play, does not show the VPN Yes i tried all options on settings. and there is no access to about:config to change browser.ipProtection.enabled to true as it solved same problem at all Firefox for windows browsers, No access to any about:policies studies etc..

Studies is enabled at settings but no VPN there.

after reading ALL (official forum blog support and unofficial last month) pages and posts about that and did all I could.

Regional irrelevant as SAME WiFi I easily enable VPN on Firefox for windows as I explained above but again I am writing about ANDROID so all replies try to control yourself and not copy paste answers help for windows Firefox and irrelevant for android firefox.

Please only answers from experienced same issue or you manage to recreate it and solve it or if it work for your Firefox for android and you are using an older version please help.

Thank you.

Hello there, I just wanted to ask for any details regarding the new VPN feature. I seem to not have it (probably due to my region not being the US or the UK) and I was wondering, when can we expect it to be available to the rest of the world? How is it even free with this high limit? I know the feature is new and is probably still getting tested. But I would appreciate any and all info possible. Thank you!

I was not given a VPN setup on restarting Firefox, and have no VPN icon in my toolbar. I have tried using customise toolbar, but there is no VPN icon to add back. Version 150.0, automatically opened to "What's New in Firefox 150" on starting Firefox, just without a new VPN icon. Thanks

How do I turn on free built-in VPN in Firefox? Online search suggests 'look for VPN icon in the top-right toolbar', but I do not have it. I am using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11 OS.

I just installed the new built-in VPN - and it appears to show as running in my Mozilla Accounts page (???).

HOWEVER, that is the only place I see it!!

No icon/display panel anywhere (not showing in Customization of toolbar option either) to see usage, turn on/off, etc.??

Hi, I am on Firefox version 150, but I can't see the new free VPN button. I wanted to try it out, but I can't see it anywhere in my settings. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was following https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox , but there isn't a button like it shows

Hello all,

I am currently testing the new VPN feature in Firefox. I Is noticed that Firefox always starts with this integrated VPN being off. I searched but I didn't find any way to have it always on when launching VPN. Is that possible?

Thanks!

The Firefox browser VPN option and toolbar button for Firefox 150 was originally showing up after a recent update (was not signed into the browser), but when I signed into the account as needed to activate VPN, the VPN toolbar button and options under security settings disappeared. I can't find the vpn button to add back under the 'customize toolbar setting' as suggested. And when I go under privacy and security settings, the VPN section is no longer there. How do I get the VPN options back? I tried signing out of Firefox and then back in. I tried disconnecting 'sync' from the computer and that didn't change anything either. I've updated the browser on all devices I'm signed into to 150.0.1. The VPN toolbar button or setting option does not show up on any device I am using. The only browser I initially saw the VPN options on was the browser that I wasn't initially signed into, and it disappeared after I signed into the browser with the account.

None of the suggestions at the following help page work to get the VPN options back in the browser settings, or toolbar: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn?utm_source=www.firefox.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=whatsnew-150#w_turn-on-vpn-in-firefox

Currently the built-in VPN operates via a blacklist system. Where it is turned on browser wide, with exception of sites you manually add to the blacklist where it will turn itself off when on those sites.

To preserve the allotted 50gb data limit for using the VPN, I would ideally need to turn the vpn off of every website that I don't need it to be on which is extremely tedious even if it's a one-time annoyance.

It would be better if instead(or in addition to) we had a whitelist option where we could have the VPN not be active browser wide, with exception of any site we add to the whitelist. I would much prefer this because there's only a handful of sites that I would need the VPN to be on.

When connecting to school wifi, it detects firefox VPN and doesn't allow me to do anything on the internet and I always end up having to use my mobile hotspot, which I have limited use of. Is there a way to remove the feature from firefox or fully disable it to where it's not active even just to let me enable it? It's driving me nuts.
