Serious Problem: How reliable are VPN extensions like MullVad VPN for Firefox?

m very selective before I install any extension and I’ve NEVER tried installing an extension that didn’t come from the Official Mozilla Database.

Please note that all extensions on Firefox, wheter they come from addons.mozilla.org or elsewhere, need to be signed by Mozilla. So if you can add the extension, it has gone trough automatic testing, and probably human verification as well.

If you want to have a single whole browser go through a Mullvad VPN proxy, the easiest is to set a proxy in the browser settings directly.

The Mullvad Browser Extension would enable you to have different proxies for different websites, but since that’s not your usecase, then you might as well configure directly at browser level.

Here’s how to do it: SOCKS5 proxy

I appreciate your replies!

I’m REALLY struggling with this because I need to exit all of my Apps on my Win10 Pro PC and only then can I open and connect my VPN but this is a tedious process..:

This is why me being able to use a VPN without needing to exit any other Apps on my Win10 Pro PC would be amazing.

Do many users only have their VPN turned on and working from within their browser whether that’s Brave, Firefox or Mullvad? I’ve never tried this before…
