Mozilla is adding a free built-in VPN to Firefox 149, launching March 24. It offers 50GB of monthly data but requires a Mozilla account and only protects browser traffic, not device-wide traffic. The VPN runs on Mozilla's own servers (not Mullvad's infrastructure used by the paid service) and is initially available in the US, France, Germany, and the UK. Mozilla frames it as privacy-respecting, but the move is also seen as a freemium funnel toward its paid Mozilla VPN product. Firefox's desktop market share has fallen from 6.3% to 4.2% over the past year.
