Just want to try your do not track service, but wondered if it will interfere with the paid US VPN service I use to get USA versions of NEtflix, stream Masterpiece, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help

hi imfaithy2, the new tracking protection in private browsing feature in firefox 42 shouldn't affect this. websites will still be able to detect your location based on the ip address that is assigned to you by your isp or vpn service. however known trackers should be prohibited from following your browsing across multiple different sites.
