Firefox has a feature that lets you tell websites not to track your browsing behavior. Learn what tracking is, how the feature works and how to turn it on.

[[Template:Tracking]] {for not fx21} =How do I turn the Do Not Track feature on?= The Do Not Track feature is turned off by default. To turn it on: #[[T:OptionsPreferences]] #Select the {menu Privacy} panel. #Check '''Tell websites I do not want to be tracked'''. #[[T:CloseOptionsPreferences]]<br>{for win}[[Image:Do Not Track - Win]]{/for}{for mac}[[Image:Do Not Track - Mac]]{/for}{for linux}[[Image:Do Not Track - Lin]]{/for} {/for} {/for} {for fx21} =How do I turn the Do Not Track feature on?= The Do Not Track feature is turned off by default.

You should be aware that many companies build a profile of sites you visit. Checking this option means that you are okay with that. *'''Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences''': This is the default setting. Choosing this option will not tell websites anything about your preferences. You should note that this does not mean that you will not be tracked. In fact it's effectively the same as the previous option, and you are likely going to be tracked. {/for} [[Template:ShareArticle|link=http://mzl.la/I0d2p0]]
