Select “Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked” – this will tell
advertisers your tracking preference
You can also block cookies from third party advertisers by
subscribing to “block” lists.
Select “Tools” again, and then “Add-ons”
Mozilla Firefox offers many Add-ons to protect user privacy. Here
are some of the most popular Add-ons.
• Ghostery blocks the invisible tracking cookies and plug-ins on many web
sites, shows it all to you, and then gives you the choice whether you want to
block them one-by-one, or all together.
• Adblock Plus stops social networking sites from transmitting data about
you after you leave those sites, even if the page you visit has a social plugin
on it.
• Do Not Track Plus is the Do Not Track app that sends a request to
websites not to track you, with a “plus” of also stopping third-party data
exchanges. So, when you visit a site with Facebook, Twitter and Google+
buttons on it, your browser will tell the network that you're on a site with
those buttons, and no information will be sent until you choose to click one.
• Priv3 is a new extension that will protect you from third-party cookies set by
Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn. Like Do Not Track Plus, it
doesn't remove elements from a page—it simply makes them inactive until
you interact with them.
Let’s use Adblock Plus for this example. In the “Get Add-ons” tab,
type “Adblock Plus” in the search bar, and hit Enter.
