Firefox beefs up security and privacy, blocking third-party trackers, Facebook cookies and more

If you’ve never used the Firefox web browser before, Mozilla has promised you a soft landing: New users will not be tracked by default.On Tuesday, Mozilla promised that new users of the current Firefox 67.0.1 and subsequent versions will have Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on by default, blocking all known third-party cookies within Firefox. Enhanced Tracking Protection will go hand in hand with a new version of Facebook Container, which prevents pages with embedded Facebook trackers from watching you as you move around the web. While new users will have Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on by default, that doesn’t mean existing users are stuck.

From there, simply make sure the Third-party trackers option in the drop-down menu is enabled.To read this article in full, please click here
