Mozilla (http://mashable.com/category/mozilla/)'s speedy Firefox Quantum browser hit the ground running when it rolled out in November (http://mashable.com/2017/11/14/firefox-quantum-release/).*
On Tuesday, Mozilla released (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2018/01/23/latest-firefox-quantum-release-now-available-with-new-features/) an update to the browser, called Firefox 58. Its most significant feature: 24/7 tracking protection. *

The Firefox browser was one of the first (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/11/03/firefox-now-offers-a-more-private-browsing-experience/) to introduce tracking protection in 2015. The feature, when enabled, aggressively blocked ads, analytics trackers, and social share buttons that record user behavior on websites.*
Previously, you needed to be using Private Browsing (Firefox's equivalent of Chrome's Incognito Windows) to enable Tracking Protection. But once you download today's update, you can enable Tracking Protection to always be on, regardless of browsing mode.* Read more... (http://mashable.com/2018/01/23/firefox-quantum-releases-update/)
