Firefox rolls out defense against two pernicious security and privacy issues

While the new security tools aren't here for the wide-release version of Firefox yet, they've both launched on Firefox Nightly 68 and Firefox Beta 67.

They are not enabled by default, but Mozilla plans to eventually have them turned on automatically in all versions of Firefox.

Mozilla has worked together with Disconnect to identify domains that serve these fingerprinting and cryoptojacking scripts.

You can enable these security tools in Firefox Nightly 68 and Beta 67 by going to the Firefox main menu > Preferences > Privacy ad Security, selecting Custom under Content Blocking, and checking Cryptominers and Fingerprinters.
