Firefox 26 Arrives With Click-To-Play For Java Plugins

Posted by Soulskill on from the demotion-of-java-continues dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla today officially launched Firefox 26 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Additions include Click-to-Play turned on by default for all Java plugins, more seamless updates on Windows, and a new Home design for Android. Firefox 26 has been released over on Firefox.com and all existing users should be able to upgrade to it automatically. As always, the Android version is trickling out slowly on Google Play. Release notes are here: desktop and mobile."

    Try the self-destructing cookies addon.
    When you close a tab, the cookies created by that tab are removed. You can whitelist domains to prevent their cookies from being deleted.
    This way, sites see cookies as being enabled, but can't track you after you close the tab.
