Firefox Focus' Tracking Protection blocks trackers that follow you across multiple websites.

How do I know if Tracking Protection is on or off?

When you visit a website, you’ll see a shield in your address bar. When Tracking Protection is on and you tap on the shield icon, the Tracking Protection panel will show along with the number of trackers it is blocking on that page:

  • If the number that appears in the panel is 0, that means that page has no trackers.
  • If the shield has a line through it tracking protection off, it means Tracking Protection is off and not blocking any trackers.

Turn Tracking Protection off or on

  1. Tap the shield in the address bar to open the Tracking Protection panel.
  2. Tap the switch next to Tracking Protection to turn it off or on.

If you turn Tracking Protection off, it will remain off until you tap Erase or close Firefox Focus.
