Mozilla is rolling out a free built-in VPN directly into Firefox with the upcoming Firefox 149 update, set to start releasing on March 24, 2026.
Here's the key details from recent announcements:
- It's browser-only (routes just your Firefox traffic through a proxy to hide your IP address and approximate location—no full-device protection like their paid Mozilla VPN).
- Completely free, no subscription or extra downloads needed, and Mozilla emphasizes it's built on their privacy principles (unlike some sketchy free VPNs out there).
- At launch, you'll get 50GB of data per month.
- Initially available only in the US, UK, France, and Germany (likely expanding later).
- This is part of a bigger Firefox 149 update that also includes things like split-screen browsing (Split View), tab notes, better AI feature controls, a visual refresh, and a new mascot named Kit.
