    Yes, I got the VPN ad also, very suddenly. I didn't get too hyper about it; I mean Moz has to make some money here and there and advertise its merch. As long as these things are few and far in-between, it's OK as far as I'm concerned. :)

    Edit: I see Stupendous Man's guide for blocking this--if it accelerates in frequency, I'll def. apply it.

    Thanks !

    Thanks. I was not in Private Browsing but I will take a look around to see what needs to be done.

    Yes. Only once so far, not in private browsing. Definitely not cool, but these kinds of promos and useless feature bloat is the what most browsers are doing now. e.g Edge & Brave.

    You gotta pick your poison!;)

    Yes, a few times. FF is getting to be a PITA with all the updates.
    Yes, Safari. ;)

    I don't use Private Browsing. Opened a Private Windows and there she is. Every time I open a new tab. No big deal, like I said, I don't use Private Browsing. I did check it out, not available where I live.

    You must also modify:

    At least I hope.

    Do you mean the top one, browser.contentblocking.report.vpn-promo.url?
    I can imagine, but I am not sure. I haven't modified that one. Since the one time in Firefox Private Browsing, I haven't seen any Mozilla VPN promo.

    I can only guess that I don't get the VPN promo in regular non-private Firefox because of several settings that I disabled, like all 'Firefox Home Content', among which Snippets. I was surprised to see the VPN promo at all.

    mullvad costs 5/5/5 (month/year/decade) per month.
    mozilla vpn costs 10/7/5 (1 month/6 month/1 year) per month.
    both have a "30-day money-back guarantee"

    there is no reason for calculating users to spend more money than needed.

    https://www.mozilla.org/de/products/vpn/#pricing
    https://mullvad.net/de/pricing/

    mozilla is not a cheap reseller.

    for my needs i use windscribe with a (giveaway) 50gig free account and had no issues at least.

    I have not seen that. Could it be because I have only shortcuts (2 rows) enabled on my home page, all of those are pinned.

    Firefox 94.0.2 on:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/94.0.2/


    Use at your own risk (it's not official yet).
    Runs fine here though.

    its "archive.mozilla.org", you are on a hidden redirect.
    Code:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org
    was a remnant of
    Code:
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org
    and both are definitely dead/no longer existant.

    True. I think the ftp protocol is dead on all of the current major browsers at this point so any link pointing to an ftp server is going to get redirected or not work depending on how it is set up.

    firefox dont support ftp any longer since versions, mozillla and other took down ftp:// before.
    please all change https://ftp to https://archive.mozilla.org <- this is a highly official address!

    Sounds like work. Do you customize it in any way?

    I wasn't aware of that (always use an old bookmark).
    Anyhow, the link I gave to 94.0.2 is now dead because that version is not listed any more on archive.mozilla.org and I can't edit my previous post.

    Does someone know why that version was removed?
