Mozilla has announced that the free VPN service integrated into the Firefox browser will offer unlimited data usage starting November 10. This promotional period is scheduled to run until January 31, 2027, allowing users to bypass the previous monthly limit of 50GB without additional costs.
To access the unlimited service, users must sign in to their Mozilla account. The feature is currently available on desktop and Android versions of the browser, with an iOS version currently under development. Users can activate the VPN via the browser toolbar on desktop or through the settings menu on Android.
The integrated VPN functions by masking the user's IP address to prevent tracking and location inference. Mozilla states that it does not log browsing activity, sell user data, or display advertisements within the service. The tool is designed to provide privacy protection, particularly when using public Wi-Fi networks in locations such as airports or hotels.
Beyond privacy, the VPN allows users to change their virtual network location to access region-specific content. Mozilla clarifies that this free feature only secures traffic generated within the Firefox browser. For system-wide protection across other applications on a computer or mobile device, users must subscribe to the paid Mozilla VPN service.
This initiative follows the initial launch of the built-in VPN in 2026, which featured a 50GB monthly cap. By offering unlimited access during the holiday season and beyond, Mozilla aims to strengthen its competitive position by emphasizing privacy as a core differentiator against other browsers focusing on AI and advertising.
