Pros:
It's useful when it works.
Cons: (all intermittent problems)
After turning on my PC Firefox cannot access anything until I've disconnected and then reconnected NordVPN.
When I try to change locations it sticks at loading servers and never progresses beyond that.
After powering on the PC, NordVPN has logged me out.
Logging in is a pain, I can't copy and paste my username/password because as soon as I click away the login window closes.
I've paid, so I'm stuck with it.
Nordvpn support is quick to respond but their answer is just a workaround (remove/reinstall the add-on). I did that and 2 days later the server load fault is back.
It has now been a month (longer for others) with no progress on the reported faults, dropping to one star.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15184762, 5 years agoUPDATE: If you want to purchase NordVPN for the Firefox browser Extension, SAVE YOUR MONEY. It is very frustrating and support wasn't helpful.
This extension has been problematic from the start. It took a lot of farting around to get it to work when I first installed it and for whatever reason it logs out for no reason. NOW I can't log into it and if the extension is enabled none of the websites will load and you are presented with "Unable to find the proxy server". Disabling it then enabling it doesn't resolve the problem nor does restarting Firefox. To make things worse support.nordvpn.com is useless, I can't find any information on the extension for Firefox and it does not provide any way of contacting NordVPN Support. I moved to Firefox for privacy/security reasons and signed up with NordVPN for the same reason, I think it is time for a refund and go back to PIA.Developer response

- Rated 2 out of 5by Aleksei Bekh-Ivanov, 5 years agoDidn't have usability issues, but found that traffic is not encrypted between my machine and the service if a request it using an IP like http://36.215.234.124/login. I can see all my plain HTTP traffic in Wireshark. It seems to not be proxied.
Looks like a major flaw as soon as it claims to give privacy.
Version used: 2.12.4
PS: Extension in Chrome seems to work just fine in this sense.
For those whom may concern: if you are ready to sacrifice usability to solve this issue you can use another Firefox proxy extension and set up HTTPS proxy there using one of the NordVPN hosts and port 89. This will use encrypted channel
