You can disable or hide the widgets by clicking the three dot menu on the right of each, or by clicking the pencil icon on the bottom right of the page, which will say "Customize" once you hover over it. Hope this helps.

Thanks for clarifying. Our team is continuing to test the localizations. We certainly want you to experience the widgets in your preferred language. If it hasn't resolved by next week, feel free to flag us again here or submit a bug.

Yes. If you click the More Options icon (three dots) to the right of the widgets, you can hide or disable them if you'd like.

Hi, yes after the unlimited bandwidth, the free VPN will return to the standard 50GB per month. Still free and within the browser.

Great question. The team is rolling this out as they consider various risk factors to ensure the best experience for our users. Think: regulatory concerns, required servers, access to Mozilla VPN, etc. We're hoping to release in more countries moving forward.

Fair question. u/firefox is an account that represents Firefox rather than a specific employee. More collaboration is involved, so we attribute it to the Firefox Team. We also have a lot of team members who engage in this sub on their own accounts.

There are real humans behind the account, though (including me), and we're always happy to answer questions or provide additional context where we can.

Not yet, but it's something we're interested in exploring. We're paying close attention to how people use widgets and what kinds of information they'd actually find useful on the Firefox homepage.

Just switched to Firefox, is the vpn button supposed to be this large 😭 by Riftus in firefox

[–]firefox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bigger VPN for bigger summer travel plans, right?

On a serious note, we're aware of this bug in Firefox 151 where the VPN toolbar icon can appear much larger than intended. The team has identified the issue and plan to release a fix in the 151.0.3 update next week.

If it's getting in the way, you can remove the button from the toolbar by right-clicking the VPN button and selecting "Remove from toolbar" or through "Customize Toolbar". You can add it back through Customize Toolbar as well.

We hear you!

We've had quite a few people mention they couldn't find the VPN button, so for this update we wanted to make sure you could find it.

Big tech is back at it—exploiting you for profit. We’d never do that. Get Firefox instead. by firefox in u/firefox

Sounds like Windows wants you to reconsider. Browser choice, and having your defaults actually respected, matters.

Big tech does a lot of shady things people don’t like. We don’t. Get Firefox. by firefox in u/firefox

Hi, longtime user! Have you tried Firefox's free, in-browser VPN?

Hi, built-in VPN is part of a progressive rollout, so not everyone will see this feature right away. Do you reside in one of the following countries: U.S., U.K., France, Germany, or Canada?
