- Firefox VPN is a built-in feature for enhanced privacy, currently in progressive rollout.
- It routes browser traffic through a secure proxy, masking your IP address with a 50 GB monthly data limit.
- Available to select users starting Firefox version 149, requires a Mozilla account for setup.
- Unlike Mozilla VPN, it only protects Firefox traffic, not the entire device, and is free without subscription.
- Setup involves responding to a toolbar prompt, signing in, and toggling the VPN on/off via the panel.
- Users can manage website exceptions, disabling VPN for specific sites or removing the feature entirely.
- Essential Mozilla services are excluded from VPN to ensure functionality like sign-ins and Wi-Fi connections.
- Mozilla collects minimal data for service improvement but does not log visited websites or communication content.
- Subscribers to Mozilla VPN gain device-wide protection and can remove the Firefox VPN toolbar icon to avoid overlap.
- Support and feedback can be directed to Mozilla Support.
