Firefox 149 Adds Free Built-In VPN on March 24

Mozilla positions the browser-only tool as a privacy-first option with a 50GB cap, requiring a Mozilla account.

Overview

  • The VPN launches first in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and France with Firefox 149.
  • Users receive 50GB of protected browsing data each month at no cost.
  • Protection applies only to traffic inside Firefox and does not cover other apps or system-wide activity.
  • The service automatically connects to the nearest server for speed, which limits use for accessing geo-restricted content.
  • Mozilla says it does not log sites visited and deletes account-linked data after three months, and the feature remains separate from the paid, system-wide Mozilla VPN.
