I-Firefox Community Forum

I had to sign up for the Mozilla VPN before I could open my Yahoo account. I don't know what this is and don't want to pay for it. If it's part of my Firefox account, that's fine, but I don't want anything that will cost me.

I live in Europe, where this stupid age verification law is in effect. I get around this by using a VPN. The problem is that I have two Firefox profiles set up with the same VPN and the same country. The issue occurs on X (formerly Twitter). On one profile, the VPN works as it should and I no longer need to verify my age, but on the other profile, the VPN has no effect and X (Twitter) asks me to verify my age. Yet the VPN is definitely enabled. I’ve cleared the cache and cookies, but nothing helps. It’s driving me crazy. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

I am unable to activate the built-in VPN. I am in a loop of getting started -> Activate Firefox’s built-in VPN for extra privacy and protection' then I click 'Continue' and then I get again back to 'get started'. The built-in VPN never activates. I am signed in while doing that and I am using a macbook to run firefox.

I installed the VPN yesterday and now have a message from Microsoft stating there is unusual activity on my account - different IP address (IP address: 63.245.216.65) and the location being in the US not the UK. Is this because of the VPN?

Using version 153 on Windows 11. I have never been able to activate the VPN. I have tried ALL of the suggestions on the support site, permissions, policies, customize toolbar, etc. There has never been any icon to activate. Obviously, this has been going on for months. Thanks.

I am reporting a technical issue regarding the built-in Firefox VPN feature. It was fully functional in my location (Czechia) until June 15, 2026, but it suddenly disappeared from my toolbar and customization menu on June 16, 2026.

Despite following the troubleshooting steps provided in the official help article "Unable to find the built-in VPN in Firefox," the feature remains unavailable.

Here is a summary of the diagnostic steps I have already performed:

- Data Collection settings: Confirmed that "Allow Firefox to improve features, performance, and stability between updates" is enabled.

- About:studies: I have checked my active studies as shown in image_464983.png. There is no "VPN - MVP Beta Holdback" study listed that would explain the removal of the feature.

- About:policies: The Enterprise policy service is inactive, and there are no restrictions blocking IPProtectionAvailable.

- Account management: I have signed out of my Mozilla account and signed back in, but the VPN icon did not reappear.

- Installation: I have performed a clean reinstallation of Firefox, which did not resolve the issue.

I have also checked the toolbar customization menu and the overflow menu, but the VPN icon is not available.

Since this feature was working perfectly until yesterday, could you please investigate if my account profile has been excluded from the current rollout or if there is a regional issue affecting users in the Czech Republic?

I have attached my about:studies screenshot (Screenshot_about_studies.png) for your reference.

I am on Firefox 150 and their is no Icon for the VPN. I even restarted in the safe mode and still no VPN. I did not have VPN in Firefox 149 but I decided to wait for Firefox 150 to report this.

Hi there, I'm on the 149 download from Firefox, but I didn't get the prompt to switch on the build in VPN. Is it not rolled out in Australia yet? Hope to hear from you. Warm regards, Nicola

hi, whenever i am trying to use the vpn on firefox, i either get a message saying Unable to find the proxy server Firefox can’t connect to the server at facebook.com What can you do about it? Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.

or on youtube, message shows Connect to the internet You're offline. Check your connection.

is there a way to resolve this issue. i currently set up the vpn to Location: Recommended

I don't see the setup button. Is the Firefox VPN available to all users now or is it still being rolled out gradually? I got the version 150 notice today. If it is not widely available, is there any expectation of when it will be rolled out more widely?
