1. Setting up
Tracking Protection
in Mozilla Firefox 10 and 11

2. Select “Firefox”

3. Click “Preferences”

4. Choose the “Privacy” tab

5. Select “Tell websites I do not want to be tracked” – this will tell
advertisers your tracking preference

6. Below that, you can decide which cookies to accept, and for how
long

7. Add exceptions to cookie-blocked sites if needed

8. You can also block cookies from third party advertisers by
subscribing to “block” lists.
Select “Tools” again, and then “Add-ons”

9. 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.

10. Let’s use Adblock Plus for this example. In the “Get Add-ons” tab,
type “Adblock Plus” in the search bar, and hit Return.

11. You can read more about each tool simply by clicking on it. To add the tool, click
“Install” next to the tool you want. It will be installed once Firefox restarts.

12. For some tools, such as Do Not Track Plus, icons will appear in the
top right corner after you add them. You can use these icons to
manage your tracking protection.

13. Finally, if you aren’t sure whether to
accept cookies from a website, read their
privacy policy and find out what they do
with the information they gather from
users!
