I had a nice post written out. Then I got access denied. Then this blank form to fill out again. This sucks: Fix your website!!!

Take Two: Is there an (about:config) way to set Tracking Protection to Always(on) and "Do Not Track" to Never(off). I want to stop tracking, I do not want to send anything to the trackers. Why would I stop the tracking, then tell them I am here???

The above is for do-not-track.

For Tracking Protection you can look at these prefs.

  • privacy.trackingprotection.enabled (default: false)
  • privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled (default: true)

Note that on some websites you may have to disable Tracking Protection by clicking the the shield icon on the location/address bar.

Thank you for the quick replys. I was able to get what I asked for with a combination of Tyler and cor-el answers. I marked cor-el as Solved because it had the most information, and the link to more info was great.
