The latest version of Firefox brings enhancement to the privacy of users with the company introducing new options Clear Site Data and Cookie button in the pop up beside the address bar.

This helps users to easily delete local browsing data for already visited websites along with being able to delete history, cookies and more. Mozilla is also introducing the ability to wipe or clear all of the personal and browsing data from the device which is disconnected from Firefox Sync.

The data which can be deleted includes passwords, history, cookies, bookmarks and more. This option helps users in safeguarding their data especially if they are accessing personal sites like banking sites from other PCs.

The company is also introducing a new Tracking Protection feature in Firefox 62 which can be enabled and disabled without any issues. The idea of the Tracking Protection feature is to prevent websites from being able to track you over the web.
