Firefox Is Getting a Free Built-In VPN on March 24. It’s Useful, But Here’s What It Can’t Do
Mozilla just announced that Firefox 149, scheduled to roll out on March 24, 2026, will ship with a free built-in VPN for users in the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. No extension to install, no account required, no credit card. Just open Firefox and your IP is masked. It sounds like a big deal, and for a lot of people, it actually is, with one important caveat: this is not a VPN in the traditional sense, and Mozilla is fairly upfront about that if you read past the headline.
