I have the VPN problem too. For me, it's a proxy thing. My company puts an HTTP proxy in-place inside of their VPN, and Firefox picks up the settings from MacOS.
When I disconnect from VPN, Firefox still has the VPN's proxy settings. I have to restart it to refresh Firefox's cached proxy settings. So that means I effectively have to restart Firefox any time I change between VPN and non-VPN.
If that's your problem too, then I don't have a fix for it. I'd love to hear if anybody else does though.
- salmo 4y agoI do that, but have a "location" for home and work. I flip them when I get on/off my company network (VPN or on-prem). I haven't had an issue with Firefox with that. Are you doing something nicer than manually flipping location or going into the network settings and turning the proxy on/off?
- Melatonic 4y agoCan you just have two Firefox users and dedicate one to work and personal? You could also manually specify a DNS provider like Cloudflare or NextDNS on the personal user for DoH / DoT
- dewey 4y agoWould something like this work for you? That's what I'm using to switch between proxies but I'm unsure how your VPN setup is done. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switchyomega/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switchyomega/
