i love the new tracking protection feature in private windows.. i would like to know if there's a way to enable this feature in regular windows (i have already set the "Request that sites not track you" option but, i guess this leaves the option for the destination site to not track me! which i don't trust)

thanks

hi db, you could generally enable tracking protection like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. double-click it and change its value to true.
