blocking non approved news
I just read a report that Mozilla's Firefox would be blocking non approved news. Or fake news as you may call it.
Is this true?

It's not true.
More info on what Mozilla is doing: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/08/08/mozilla-information-trust-initiative-building-movement-fight-misinformation-online/
Note this first phase: "Later this year, Mozilla will be releasing original research on how misinformation impacts users’ experiences online. We will be drawing on a dataset of user-level browsing data gathered during the 2016 U.S. elections."
To keep up with future changes in Firefox from sources that know Firefox well, I suggest:
This subreddit has information and debate about all changes and controversies related to Firefox: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/
This site publishes details of upcoming technical changes to Firefox, useful add-ons, workarounds, and lots of commenting: https://www.ghacks.net/?s=firefox
