Good catch; this was a bug in the experiment remote settings blob.

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible using the latest Firefox Nightly (93.0a1 - Build ID: 20210822212235) installed on Windows 10 x64. Now, I can confirm the "https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/" website is opened after the "Learn more" button was clicked.
