Frequently asked questions
Why do I need a VPN browser extension?
Firefox is considered to be one of the most safe and secure browsers available. However, no connection is 100% foolproof.
The AVPN extension for Firefox works like a remote control for your AVPN app, making it easy for you to connect, disconnect, change locations, and modify other settings right from your toolbar. But that’s not the only benefit.
The extension also offers additional privacy and security features like WebRTC blocking and location spoofing, beyond what any VPN can offer alone. If you are seeing an error while trying to stream video on your browser, for example, using the extension will often fix the problem.
How do I enable VPN on Firefox?
You already get the privacy and security benefits of a VPN on Firefox if you connect to AVPN on your device via the apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux. But to enjoy the added benefits of the browser extension (like WebRTC blocking, location spoofing, and HTTPS Everywhere), follow these steps:
-
Subscribe to AVPN if you haven’t already.
-
Download the AVPN browser extension for Firefox.
-
Click the AVPN extension icon and click the On Button to connect.
I got the extension. Why do I also need the app?
The extension controls and enhances your AVPN app, but it is not a replacement for it. The app must be installed and running for the extension to work.
Why is a VPN extension better than a VPN browser?
The AVPN browser extension is unique in that it controls the full-featured VPN app. That means all of your online activity is protected by the VPN, not just what passes through your browser.
Does a VPN hide my browser history?
Your browser history is typically stored inside your browser. Using a VPN will not change this, but you can disable such recording in Firefox and delete any history collected so far.
Your browsing history might also be inferred by others monitoring your internet connection, such as your internet service provider or Wi-Fi operator. AVPN encrypts all data between your device and the AVPN servers, making it impossible for an ISP or rogue Wi-Fi to record the sites you visit.
Note that browser history is not the same as search history. If you are logged in to Google and using its search engine, those searches will be recorded even if you are using a VPN. (Learn how to delete your Google search history.)
