Many users on Mozilla support communities and Reddit are reporting that their browsing sessions were suddenly interrupted by an overlay ad for Mozilla VPN today.

To disable this, users need to set browser.vpn_promo.enabled to false on the about:config page.

I got that too. They just closed the ticket too:

Status: UNCONFIRMED → RESOLVED

Closed: 1 minute ago

Resolution: --- → WORKSFORME

Yeah, that closure was completely uncommented and mysterious. A later comment linked to a bug saying that the ad had been disabled, presumably because it was showing up where it shouldn't? WORKSFORME doesn't seem like the right resolution for that.

The two bugs were also closed as duplicates of each other, which feels a little sloppy.
