2075524 - Multi-account containers don't see Mozilla VPN installed from flatpak, compared to apt

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Containers, defect)

Description

[Mark Wren]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:156.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/156.0

Steps to reproduce

Using Mozilla VPN (Flathub version 2.39), Firefox Multi-account Containers won't let me assign a location per container as it did with the APT version (also 2.39) - instead, under each container config it just says "Get Mozilla VPN" on a blue button.

But it does use the old config I had (so my old "US" container still exits in the USA, for instance).

This occurred on my old Ubuntu 24.04 system, using Gnome desktop; and also now on my new KDE system (Plasma 6.7.4, Firefox 156.0) even if I tweak "configure permissions" in Discover to allow access to everything.

Any help gratefully received!

Actual results

Using Mozilla VPN (Flathub version 2.39), Firefox Multi-account Containers won't let me assign a location per container as it did with the APT version - instead, under each container config it just says "Get Mozilla VPN" on a blue button.

Expected results

Multi-account Containers should let me assign a location per container.
