Possible solution as stated on https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/13rnt88/why_is_fir...
In about:config set browser.vpn_promo.enabled to false.
Really sad to see that from Firefox, though. I'd have expected it from Edge or even Chrome; suggests that Mozilla is getting desperate.
We can always fork off another browser if they get too abusive.

You can open about:config and set browser.vpn_promo.enabled to false to disable it.
I can't quite believe how tone-deaf and counterproductive this is.
Of course, their attitude toward extensions on Android Firefox was a big red flag they'd strayed far from their roots, so I'm not exactly shocked.
