How to turn on my Do Not Track Setting?

I cant seem to find anything that leads me to these many options you claim to have on my mobile. Can you help?

Hello Knotaclue
There are no Pop-up Blocker Options in Firefox for Android. However, if you wish to disable Pop-ups, you can follow these instructions:
Type about:config in the address bar
Search dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false
To re-enable the Pop-up blocker, set dom.disable_open_during_load to true
I hope you find this information useful.
Please don't forget to tap ''marked as solved'' :-)
Thanks,

  • How do you turn on the do not track feature?

    According to an article in USA Today, Firefox has a "do not track" feature that keeps third parties for knowing what sites I visit. How do you turn this on?

    Note that selecting that ''do-not-track'' setting will only make Firefox send a specific HTTP header (DNT=1) to a web server.
    It is up to the server to do something with that request.
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > Advanced > General: "Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked"
    * privacy.donottrackheader.enabled -> Header: HTTP_DNT: 1

  • How do I activate the do not track option?

    How do I activate the do not track option?

    '''tuckertest''': The original poster does not have Firefox 4beta installed.
    Firefox's 4.0b11 implementation of "Do Not Track" will depend on recognition by websites of the "Do Not Track" header being sent by Firefox 4b11. There are no standards established for "Do Not Track". Other browsers are in the initial phases of implementing other procedures.
    You can look at the following extensions which uses persistent/permanent cookies to limit advertiser tracking:

  • Where is the Safari 5.0.5 "Do Not Track" setting?

    The WSJ -- as well as most of the Apple Interest sites -- have promised that there would be a "Do Not Track" setting in the new version of Safari -- namely, and specifically, 5.0.5.  For what it's worth, I can't find it.  It's not in the "Preferences" settings; there's no privacy tab there at all, actually; it's also not referenced in the Help menu system; and finally, there's no sign of it in the Apple Site.  In fact, the only references are all from these 3rd Party groups, starting with the Wall Street Journal.
    I'm guessing it may be there somewhere -- the new Firefox actually does have the setting, but it's very difficult to find.  Sort of a grudging attitude, I'd say.  "You can have it if you can find it, but we're sure not going to help you find it."
    Google Chrome, of course, doesn't have it at all: how could they? They make all their money off selling all the information/using all the information they can, in their advertising business model.
    So.....I'm guessing that Safari -- in spite of the promises -- doesn't have the "Do Not Track" option, at least not yet.  If you can find it, please let me know.
    Thanks.

    Oh, if your really want to block things you can add a block list to your Hosts file.
    1: Download the free Text Wrangler
    2: Copy the entire text of this web page:
    http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
    3: Paste into Text Edit
    4: Remove line: (important!!)
    127.0.0.1  localhost
    5: Use Find and Replace change all instances of
    127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0
    6: Save the file onto your desktop for now, any name will do. Leave file open in Text Edit.
    7: Launch Text Wrangler and File Open By Name:  /etc/hosts
    8: Touch nothing you see there (very important)
    9: Text Edit and Select all/copy
    10: Text Wrangler, mouse to the bottom of the file (add some returns) and click paste.
    11: Save the Text Wrangler /etc/hosts file, it will ask for your Admin password.
    That's it. you just added a computer level block to all the current malicious sites on the Internet, along with ads, trackers and other nasty business.
    All you have to do is update that portion of the /etc/hosts file every few months using the same methods above without deleting the original /etc/hosts file contents.
    You shoudl save a copy of the original /etc/hosts file just in case you delete it by accident.
    If you want to block any site on the Internet, just add a line and (example, like so)  0.0.0.0 www.facebook.com
    If you want to unblock a site just put a # symbol in front of any line for the comptuer to "ignore this line"
    What this does is resolves the domain name for certain malicious/ad sites before it asks your Domain Name Server for the correct IP of these sites.
    Because you use 0.0.0.0 it's "nothing" and the site fails to load.
    Note: All responsiblity is yours if you screw things up or have any problem using this method to block sites.

  • How to Turn Off Screen, but NOT Auto-Lock phone?

    I have an iPhone 5S.  I have auto-lock set to 5 minutes.  I often want to shut the screen for a short period (less than 5 minutes) to conserve the battery and to put it in my pocket while making sure I don't do something on the phone.  As such, I press the sleep button at the top.  No matter how quickly I turn the phone back on (by pressing the sleep button again) it is now locked.  I find this *very* annoying.  Obviously, the "Sleep button" doesn't just put the phone to sleep, but locks it too *despite* the auto-lock setting.  Is there any way to really just "sleep" the phone withOUT turning on the lock?
    Thank you,
    Stuart

    "Sleep" and "lock" are the same thing where an iPhone is concerned. The only other option is passcode lock.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I disable the Do-Not-Track header? Firefox preference is not working.

    The "Do not tell anything about my tracking preferences" option is not working. As it always sends the "DNT:1" header no matter what option. I am using Firefox 23. I am aware of Bugzilla 803898. I would like an immediate solution if possible until this is fixed.
    I am having issues with some private sites that just terminates the connection whenever the DNT header is passed. In the end, I am using IE for these sites, I preferably wish not to do so.
    I tried using extensions to filter out the DNT header but it seem to be applied at the end of everything. This is an amazingly stupid error I just cannot find a solution to.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Do both these prefs have their default value?
    *privacy.donottrackheader.enabled (false)
    *privacy.donottrackheader.value (1)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    The first being false should make Firefox not send the DNT header.

  • I've turned on the do not track feature but I still have many sites tracking me. What can I do to stop them from doing this?

    I can tell that sites are still tracking me, if I search for an item on ebay the next time I go to Amazons site I see the item I was searching for on ebay on the Amazon page. I would like this to stop can you help with this problem?

    Hi,
    You can try installing Ghostery. It is available for download. It is an add-on to prevent tracking you by the websites. Check here for information: https://www.ghostery.com/
    Thank you!

  • Firefox 5.0 says do-not-track header is moved, what does it mean, no option to enable do-not-track anymore?

    Whats new in Firefox 5.0 says that Do-Not-Track Header has been moved to increase the discoverability.. Does this mean that there would not be option to enable do-not-track anymore? Does this sacrifice privacy? or also it means that you will be always locatable (in general or personally)? - Thanks.

    You can find it in another location.

  • I tried to set up a new account but it has a master password and do not recall setting one how do I change that it will not let me turn it off without knowing the password I do not recall ever setting on. How do I clear the Master Password?

    I was trying to set up my mobile phone with Android with the Firefox App and my Netbook which I use the Firefox on and sync them but it came up that I have a Master Password but I do not recall setting one up and I have record of all my passwords that I keep in a secure place and I had trouble with a hacker who had accessed several of my accounts and I am now concerned that they may have also access this and we did not catch this one as we did the other accounts and stopped them from getting access. But that is not my concern any longer as that has been remedied the problem is how do I get the password unlocked or changed since I have no idea what it is? I tried to turn it off but it will not allow me to do that either without knowing it. Please advise as to what can be done so I can use this App on my Droid. Thanks. Deborah
