Mozilla Firefox不再只是一个浏览器。它已成为不断增长的软件和服务套件。浏览器的最新更新扩展了其无数的隐私功能。例如。支持增强跟踪保护(Enhanced Tracking Protection)（默认(Default)启用）、更新Facebook Container、Firefox Monitor、Lockwise等。这篇文章讨论了Firefox Lockwise、Firefox Monitor、Facebook Container、Firefox上的(Firefox)增强跟踪保护(Enhanced Tracking Protection)功能。
Firefox 中的新隐私功能
浏览器的制造商似乎正在建立一个将人们的隐私放在首位的新标准。这也强调了帮助人们在使用Firefox时保持安全的承诺。
1]增强的跟踪保护
在Firefox(Firefox)中阻止来自已知第三方跟踪器的 cookie仍然是浏览器开发人员的主要目标之一。因此，Firefox添加了一项新功能，称为增强跟踪保护(Enhanced Tracking Protection)。该功能使公司更难跟踪用户的行为或活动。增强跟踪保护(Enhanced Tracking Protection)默认设置为“开启”。
该功能隐藏起来，您几乎看不到。只有当您访问一个站点并在URL(URL)地址旁边的地址栏中看到一个盾牌图标和小“i”图标时，它才会变得可见。
看到该图标可确保您的安全，因为Firefox阻止了数千家公司进行您的在线活动。在浏览器中没有看到此功能的用户仍然可以通过单击浏览器右上角的菜单图标（三个水平线）并选择内容阻止(Content Blocking)来尝试它。
接下来，他们可以转到他们的隐私偏好并单击右侧的自定义齿轮。(Custom)标记(Mark)Cookie(Cookies)复选框并确保选中“第三方跟踪器” 。
2] Facebook容器
Facebook Container是一个浏览器插件，可帮助您将您的网络活动与Facebook隔离开来，防止其在网络上跟踪和跟踪您。您所要做的就是将此浏览器插件添加到Firefox中。
添加后，该插件将关闭您的Facebook选项卡、删除您的Facebook cookie 并将您从(Facebook)Facebook注销。因此，下次您导航到Facebook时，它将加载到一个新的蓝色浏览器选项卡（“容器”）中。当您看到Facebook Container紫色栅栏徽章时，您就会知道屏蔽已生效。
在Facebook Container中，您可以正常登录和使用Facebook。如果您单击非Facebook链接或导航到URL栏中的非(URL)Facebook网站，这些页面将加载到容器之外。
重要的是要在这里提到浏览器插件不会阻止Facebook错误处理它已经拥有的关于你的数据。例如，Facebook仍然可以访问您在 facebook.com 上所做的一切，包括您的Facebook评论、上传的照片、点赞、您与Facebook 连接的(Facebook-connected)应用程序共享的任何数据等。
3]火狐监视器
这是另一个对Firefox用户有益的实用程序。当人们成为数据泄露的一部分时，免费服务会通知他们。此外，为了满足用户的要求，Firefox推出了一个中央仪表板来帮助他们跟踪和管理多个电子邮件地址。
通过此仪表板(Dashboard)，受害者可以快速了解所有注册电子邮件帐户的更新。他们也将能够识别
- 被监控的电子邮件类型
- (Number)可能暴露您的信息的数据泄露数量
- 密码因这些违规行为而受到损害或泄露（如果有）。
4]火狐锁定
Firefox Lockwise以前称为Firefox Lockbox，是一项实验性功能，可让您访问已保存到Firefox的密码。该功能通过将登录从Firefox浏览器同步到Firefox Lockwise应用程序或浏览器扩展/附加组件来工作。
要开始使用，只需使用与Firefox Lockwise相同的Firefox 帐户登录(Firefox Account)Firefox浏览器。
现在，要启用Firefox和Firefox Lockwise应用程序（适用于 iOS 和Android）之间的同步，您需要在Firefox for Desktop上登录您的(Desktop)Firefox 帐户(Firefox Account)。
如果您已经有Firefox帐户，请确保您已选中同步设置中的(Sync Settings)登录(Logins)复选框。
对于 iOS(For iOS)
现在，要完成Firefox for iOS 和Firefox Lockwise应用程序之间的同步过程，您需要在 Firefox 上登录您的Firefox帐户(Firefox Account)。您将在“设置”(Settings)下找到登录屏幕（通过主菜单中的齿轮图标）。登录并选择“立即同步(Sync Now)”将您保存的登录信息发送到Firefox Lockwise。
安卓版(For Android)
同样，如果您安装了适用于Android的(Android)Lockwise 应用程序(Lockwise App)，请访问它，登录并选择“立即同步”(Sync Now’) 以将您保存的登录信息发送到Firefox Lockwise。确保(Make)同步设置(Sync Settings)中的Logins Firefox项目被选中，以便将您的登录信息同步到Firefox Lockwise。

Lockwise, Monitor, Facebook Container, Tracking Protection on Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is not just a browser anymore. It has become a growing suite of software and services. Thе latest update to the browser exрands its’s myriad privacy features. For example. There’s support for Enhanced Tracking Protection (enabled by Default), updates to Facebook Container, Firefox Mоnitor, Lockwise and more. This pоst discυsses Firefox Lockwisе, Firefox Monitor, Facebook Cоntainer, Enhanсed Tracking Protection features on Firefox.
New privacy features in Firefox
The makers of the browser seem to be establishing a new standard that puts people’s privacy first. This also underlines the commitment to help people stay safe whenever they use Firefox.
1] Enhanced Tracking Protection
Blocking cookies from known third party trackers in Firefox has remained one of the main objectives of the browser’s developers. As such, a new capability has been added to Firefox called, Enhanced Tracking Protection. The capability makes it harder for companies to track their user’s behavior or activities. Enhanced Tracking Protection is set to ‘On’ by default.
The feature lies hidden and is practically invisible to you. It becomes visible only when you visit a site and see a shield icon in the address bar next to the URL address and the small “i” icon.
Seeing the icon ensures you are safe as Firefox is blocking thousands of companies from your online activity. Users who do not see this feature in their browser can still try it by clicking the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the top right of your browser and choosing Content Blocking.
Next, they can go to their privacy preferences and click on the Custom gear on the right side. Mark the Cookies checkbox and make sure that “Third-party trackers” is selected.
2] Facebook Container
Facebook Container is a browser add-on that helps you isolate your web activity from Facebook by preventing it from following and tracking you across the web. All you must do is add this browser add-on to Firefox.
When added, the add-on will close your Facebook tabs, delete your Facebook cookies, and log you out of Facebook. So, the next time you navigate to Facebook it will load in a new blue colored browser tab (the “Container”). You will know the blocking is in effect when you see the Facebook Container purple fence badge.
You can log in and use Facebook normally when in the Facebook Container. If you click on a non-Facebook link or navigate to a non-Facebook website in the URL bar, these pages will load outside of the container.
It is important to mention here that the browser add-on doesn’t prevent Facebook from mishandling the data that it already has about you. For example, Facebook will still have access to everything that you do while you are on facebook.com, including your Facebook comments, photo uploads, likes, any data you share with Facebook-connected apps, etc.
3] Firefox Monitor
This is yet another beneficial utility for Firefox users. The free service notifies people when they’ve been part of a data breach. Moreover, obliging to users’ request Firefox has rolled out a central dashboard to help them track and manage multiple email addresses.
Through this Dashboard, victims can get a quick summary of updates for all registered email accounts. They’ll also be able to identify
- Type of emails being monitor
- Number of data breaches that may have exposed your information
- Passwords compromised or leaked across those breaches if any.
4] Firefox Lockwise
Earlier known as Firefox Lockbox, Firefox Lockwise is an experimental feature that gives you access to passwords you’ve saved to Firefox. The feature works by works by syncing logins from the Firefox browser to the Firefox Lockwise app or browser extension/add-on.
To get started, simply sign in to a Firefox browser using the same Firefox Account you use for Firefox Lockwise.
Now, to enable the syncing between Firefox and the Firefox Lockwise app (available for iOS and Android), you’ll need to sign in to your Firefox Account on Firefox for Desktop.
If you already have a Firefox account, make sure you’ve selected the Logins checkbox in Sync Settings.
For iOS
Now, to complete the process of Syncing between Firefox for iOS and the Firefox Lockwise app, you’ll need to sign in to your Firefox Account on Firefox. You’ll find the sign-in screen under Settings (via the gear icon in the main menu). Sign-in and select ‘Sync Now’ to send your saved logins to Firefox Lockwise.
For Android
Similarly, if you have installed the Lockwise App for Android, access it, sign-in and select ‘Sync Now’ to send your saved logins to Firefox Lockwise. Make sure the Logins Firefox item within Sync Settings is checked in order to sync your logins to Firefox Lockwise.
