Mozilla today announced that it is bringing back the Firefox Test Pilot program to allow users to try out new features before they are ready for mainstream usage. While the name is familiar, though, the overall goals of the new program are a bit different from the last iteration and the focus is less on crazy experiments and more on beta testing products that are almost ready for public consumption.
The first new project in the Test Pilot program is the beta of the Firefox Private Network VPN service, which is now available for Firefox desktop users in the U.S.
Sign up now for a Firefox account today so you can use this totally private free VPN.

Unfortunately, the part about needing a Firefox account is not a joke.

Maybe that's the same as a Firefox sync account?
Also,
"Available free for a limited time"
It's eventually going to cost money. The whole point of this is to make them money.

I bet you've heard this before: If the product is free then you are the product. I believe that more today than I ever have in my life.
