The browser is now better at blocking “fingerprinters” that gather information about your system to ID you, even after clearing cookies or using private browsing. Mozilla says the improvements almost halve the number of Firefox users tracked by fingerprinting, preventing websites from obtaining details about hardware specifications, touchscreen support, and dock or taskbar dimensions.
