The restriction worth for security but also pain for some extensions. For example, A Google Translator add-on on Firefox can't be regitered to Mozilla's store.

Mozilla VPN: CVE-2023-4104: vpndaemon wrongly implements Polkit authentication
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Aug 2023

The summary seems to ignore upstream.
They did infact
removed polkit : https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/70...
refactor auth using D-Bus: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/71...
These are why author's PR was dropped.

Enabling IPv6 support for IPv4 only apps on Linux
3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 May 2023

RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
So I intentionally decided not to have IPv4 connectivity system wide to catch apps with issues in IPv6 only environment and then carefully evaluate issues and report them to authors: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/issues/... https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4121
Dual stack setups tend to hide IPv6 implementation issues and may create illusion that app is IPv6 compatible but in reality it's not.
Clearly my setup is too hostile for home users but as developer I enjoy it a lot.
I almost always ignore the pop-ups from browsers, but that one time I clicked, it tells me to... "Join the Waitlist?" They seem to go hard on talking about their VPN, why can't I "just download it"? What's the problem? Why Waitlist? Is this scam?
1 project | /r/firefox | 21 Apr 2023

Mozilla VPN is still in "beta testing" mode, and while everyone works out issues with clients, subscriptions, and all the other fun, it's better to limit the scope of a test. Mozilla VPN will roll out into more countries over time, and if yo want to know when, there's a "join the waitlist"-button on https://vpn.mozilla.org/.

Firefox Private Network (only $2.99 a month)
1 project | /r/firefox | 3 Sep 2022

No. The Firefox Private Network browser extension offers set and forget network protection while you shop, bank, and browse in Firefox. It’s lightweight and simple. A VPN is a more robust software application that allows location switching. It’s a separate app you install to secure everything on your device that connects to the internet, including all browsers, social media apps, and banking apps.

Firefox and fingerprinting
3 projects | /r/firefox | 7 Aug 2022

Having said that, people can only track you if you make connections to their domains. If you don't even want the owner of a site you visit directly to know you visit it, use Mozilla VPN (if available in your country) or a slower free alternative like Tor or VPN Gate.
