Does Firefox Private Network log my browsing history? Firefox is committed to protecting your privacy. Our privacy policy outlines how we handle your data. The browser-level protection, provided by Cloudflare, temporarily logs unidentified browsing history and deletes this data within 24 hours as a mechanism to detect and handle abuse on the network. The Firefox Multi-Account Containers add-on isn’t technically a form of private browsing or tracking protection, but it can help keep companies from knowing everything you do online. It lets you open fresh, cookie-free tabs that can be used for different accounts—personal, work, shopping, etc.

Description
Private Browsing by PortableApps.com is an app that works with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition. It allows you to launch Firefox with a specialized profile with advanced privacy measures included. This profile has persistent cookies, history, download history and other privacy features off. AdBlock Plus is included with a subscription to the EasyPrivacy list to block tracking scripts and sites as well as the standard ad-blocking list. Local plugins and extensions are ignored and will not be used by this custom profile. A custom icon for the task bar is included so you can easily distinguish your private profile from your normal one.
App Notes
PRIVACY NOTE: As with any network software, your network traffic is still viewable by network admins. This just lets you avoid having local tracks on the PC or on your portable device and helps you avoid some internet and advertising tracking.

Mozilla released Firefox 87.0 this morning, the latest version of its open source web browser. Following on the heels of December's Firefox 85 and February's Firefox 86, the new version's most important features—Smart Block and improved referrer trimming—are privacy related.
Smart Block
Firefox has been blocking third-party tracking scripts by default for quite a while now. For the most part, this works pretty seamlessly—but in some cases, missing tracking scripts can interfere with a page's rendering, either delaying it (as seen in the animated image above, on the left) or permanently breaking it.
Smart Block takes an additional step to improve the rendering on pages that embed third-party trackers—instead of just pulling the script and leaving a 'hole' where it used to be, Smart Block replaces it with what Mozilla describes as 'stand-in' scripts. These stand-in scripts function just enough like the original trackers to restore the intended page-rendering sequence and results without actually leaking data to third parties.
Mozilla sources much of its data on what is—or is not—a 'common tracking script' which needs a Smart Block stand-in from the Disconnect tracking protection list.
Advertisement Improved referrer trimming
When you embed an image from some other website in your own website, information about your site's viewers leaks to the other website's operators. To illustrate this, let's imagine that the operators of
greatsearch.tld
, a fictitious search engine, include an image of a sheep from sheep-pictures.tld
on every results page.Firefox Private Browsing On Iphone
The HTML code for the embedded image is simple:
<img src=https://sheep-pictures.tld/sheep1.jpg>
When users of
greatsearch.tld
use that site, their browsers see that tag and automatically download https://sheep-pictures.tld/sheep1.jpg
while rendering the page.Traditionally, the entire URL of the referring page is included in that web request... which means information leakage to the operators of
sheep-pictures.tld
, who would see something like this in their logs:Now that we understand the referrer field itself, it's pretty clear what 'referrer trimming' means—and why Mozilla is getting more aggressive about it. If the user above were using Firefox 87 when making the same search, the operators of
sheep-pictures.tld
would instead see the following log entry:Additional fixes and features

Firefox 87.0 also offers improvements in the Highlight All feature of Find in Page, full support for macOS' built-in screen reader VoiceOver, and several minor UI enhancements, security fixes, and general tweaks. For the full list, head on over to Mozilla's own Firefox 87.0 release notes.
