- Rated 5 out of 5by FTBoomer, 5 years agoSaw all the reviews about this not working but I just dL'd it and it's working great and is so much faster than the standalone app. After turning it on and checking via WhatsMyIP, the site shows me at the location for the server I chose and so does the map.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Risava, 5 years agoDoesn't work properly anymore since FF v71+ and didnt get fixed since weeks! Actually a shame! NOT recommended anymore!!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Dan Atkinson, 5 years agoBroken. DO NOT USE!
Reports being connected on Firefox 72 running on the extension version 2.1.3.1 when it isn't.
Whitelists don't appear to be working correctly either. After re-installing the extension, there appears to be no way of importing them back in as the import screen doesn't work.
Edit: PIA have since updated the extension to 2.1.4.2 but there are still serious problems. Netflix no longer works, and neither do sites such as BBC News. The bypass mechanism doesn't do anything to resolve these issues, so it feels very much like two steps forward but one step back. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13349844, 5 years agoDO NOT USE THIS ADD-ON!!!
It says its connected, but its not. it still shows a green light for being connected WHEN it should be RED.
Its not safe to use, it will expose your real IP.
Again DO NOT USE THIS ADD-ON!!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Adriel, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14480598, 5 years agoWorking again but randomly disconnects without showing it disconnected, kinda defeats the purpose. I'll be switching VPN providers as I no longer trust PIA.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lucid0X, 5 years agoIt hasn't worked for over a month now, but it works fine on Chromium browsers. Unfortunately, Firefox is my main and preferred browser. I blame PIA frankly. I will be switching providers as soon as my term is up. This addon is a massive security risk, it has appeared to be connected many times when it was in-fact not working. Either support your products or shelve them. At any rate I can't trust this company anymore and I'm finished with them.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15014251, 5 years agoIt is fixed for v71 for normal browsing but not working for private browsing along with many other regressions.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Tambukey, 5 years agoTo all who find the app stopped working, you have to fully remove it from Firefox then reinstall. I was able to get it to work. You will know it is working by either going to their main website or if your subscription renewal date is correct.
- Rated 1 out of 5by PolishedBadger, 5 years agoThis worked pretty well until Firefox released an upgrade, now the app just opens its window to reveal absolutely nothing, a blank and useless interface with no way to connect to the PIA servers.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13315278, 5 years agoNot working. Switching my VPN provider I've had enough.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kes, 5 years agoHas been broken for the last 3 weeks at least, which is a nuisance. Much worse however is the fact that it doesn't tell you it's not working. It lies to you and says everything's working fine, even while it's broken. PIA themselves have said little beyond admitting the fault and have given no ETA for when it will be fixed.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dime, 5 years agoПревосходно работает в Chrome и Opera. В Firefox не работает. Клиент для Windows 7/10 превосходно работает.
- Rated 1 out of 5by jellywx, 5 years agoNo longer works unfortunately. Sits on 'connecting' forever. If it claims it has connected, a simple search for 'whats my ip' quickly shows that it hasnt
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14012026, 5 years agoUpdate 3 4/6/21 This addon breaks all the time and it takes months for pia to fix anything, it's mandatory to have 3 or more different back up browsers and 2 os, if you want any kind of usage out of pia's service. Don't bother asking for help on their reddit they delete posts to keep the negative pr at bay. quite often. For one of the most popular VPN services this one is a total miss.
