Details

(Whiteboard: [fx-vpn])

The userEnabled pref is set based on the position of the Turn On VPN toggle in the IP Protection Panel, and should be used to determine whether to start the VPN at the beginning of the next session. The userEnabled pref is defined and set as a part of Bug 1976546. VPN autostart functionality at browser startup is added as a part of Bug 1990007. Here, we need to add a condition to the autostart functionality to check the userEnabled pref in addition to the autoStartEnabled pref when determining whether to autostart the VPN.

If the user has autostart enabled, the VPN should always restart, even if userEnabled is false.

If the user has autostart disabled, the VPN should still restart if userEnabled is true.
