Firefox 48: blocklist against plugin fingerprinting - gHacks Tech News

Firefox 48, out August 2, 2016, will block known plugin fingerprinting services thanks to a new blocklist that Mozilla developed to improve user privacy. For example, Flash files that are known for fingerprinting (or super cookies) are automatically blocked. In other news, Mozilla also announced that they will implement Tor’s privacy settings in Firefox, starting in Firefox 50 with the first features such as plugin information leaks and other techniques known to track down user behavior.
