You Can Now Choose Favorite Server Locations With Firefox Free VPN
Summary
Mozilla updated Firefox (Firefox 151) to add a highly requested server location selector to its free built-in VPN, allowing users to pick preferred countries rather than relying solely on automatic proximity-based selection. The free VPN launched two months ago and has attracted over one million sign-ups; location selection is available to users in the US, UK, France, Germany, and Canada. The VPN provides 50 GB of browser-only encrypted traffic per month, so region-specific uses like streaming will consume that allotment quickly, and system-level protection requires upgrading to Mozilla VPN or another paid service. Mozilla framed the change as delivering flexibility users expect from modern VPNs while reminding users that browsing remains subject to local laws and content restrictions.
