And the browser provides a lot settings to customize it's behavior. One aspect is the question \"how to customize Firefox privacy settings\"?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This short blog post was initiated from another post. A few days ago I reported that Firefox Focus mobile browser app for iOS is shipped with third party tracking framework (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/02\/12\/firefox-focus-the-privacy-browser-with-build-in-user-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox Focus: The 'Privacy Browser' with build in user tracking<\/a>). It would be ok, if Mozilla has shipped the app with user tracking disabled and point to the ability to activate user tracking on this \"privacy browser\" app. <\/p>\n<p>After publishing this blog post, I received a couple of comments and there is a discussion at AskWoody. While I wrote about the iOS mobile app Firefox Focus, I saw many comments about Firefox as a desktop browser. Firefox on desktop provides many options to deactivate tracking features. There are this comment and this post naming some settings to control tracking and data reporting policies\/features. <\/p>\n<p>Also Martin Brinkmann, founder of site ghacks.com, has send me a mail pointing to his updated article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghacks.net\/2017\/02\/12\/ghacks-net-firefox-user-js-config-0-11-is-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ghacks.net Firefox privacy and security user.js 0.11 is out<\/a>. This article provides a comprehensive Firefox privacy and security settings collection, initially created in 2015. See Martin's article for details. So users are able to control Firefox privacy settings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Firefox browser is still popular and well used on desktop systems (Windows, Mac OS, Linux).
