Firefox is known as one of the most secure browsers on the market, but Mozilla wants it to be more privacy-aware and secure than ever before. That’s why it looks like Firefox 59 will be coming with new privacy settings that won’t allow intrusive sites to access your camera, microphone or location, nor to ask you if you want to receive any notifications. In Firefox’s Preferences panel, under Privacy & Security, there’s a Permissions section that lets users choose which websites will have access tp location, camera, microphone, and notification and which won’t. These settings are already present in the current stable Firefox version and are essential for protecting your privacy and keep your online presence secure from hackers.
