Firefox’s free VPN will offer 50 gigabytes of monthly data, which is pretty generous for a browser-based VPN. A Mozilla account is required to make use of it, which isn’t a hardship (they’re free), but is a point of friction some may wish to know upfront.

Just use Mullvad then instead of this roundabout way of using Mullvad.

ofc, this is a free alternative, not a mullvad competitor

"Just use Mullvad instead" is good advice compared to almost any other option.

Unfortunate that to get this experience in Firefox, we will have to disable a built-in feature and download some extension.

idk about you, but when I use a VPN I want all the device's traffic to go through it, not just the browser. So I'd always disable the built-in feature in that case.

This isn't using Mullvad.
