NordVPN - a VPN proxy extension for Firefox by NordVPN

by Firefox user 14997599, 5 years agoFor the past few days/weeks this addon has made browsing a painful experience.
Everything slows down to a crawl in random intervals. The addon says that I am not logged in but even after I log in (and I get a message that I have successfully logged in), it keeps saying that I am not logged in. Changing servers also does not work because the addon is unable to retrieve server list.
I have been reinstalling the addon several times every day, which helps for a while but sooner or later it breaks again. I have also cleared cookies between reinstalls, as suggested by the "developer" but, unsurprisingly, this did not help either. Firefox is always up-to-date and I am not using any addons that might interfere with a VPN addon.
Similar behavior has been reported by other users and the only "solutions" provided by the "developer" are to reinstall addon, clear cookies or reinstall Firefox. They are either incapable or unwilling to fix the actual underlying problem with the addon. Instead, they try to shift the responsibility to the user. The amount of users reporting these issues is indicative that this is not an isolated user issue but rather a programming issue.
To other users: If you value your time and mental health then steer away from NordVPN firefox addon.
To the "developer": If your addon requires daily reinstall while multitudes of users are experiencing the same problems, then there is clearly something wrong with your addon. Don't bother responding that I should try this or that, I have already tried it all many times. Instead, do your job and fix the addon!
PS: I am also using the Chrome extension and it has been working well so far. Quite a stark contrast to the Firefox addon.

posted a month agoBonjour ! Merci de votre intérêt. Une récente mise à jour de Firefox a modifié l’affichage des autorisations, mais nous n’avons introduit aucune nouvelle collecte de données. Le terme « généralement » fait référence à des informations existantes telles que votre identifiant d’abonnement et votre devise. Nous restons attachés à la protection de votre vie privée et n’utilisons que les données nécessaires au bon fonctionnement de nos services. Cordialement, G.M. - Rated 1 out of 5by Evan, a month ago
