Added a note to this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature

Does this also apply to DNT on Android?

I don't believe this is implemented yet. Perhaps we should wait before updating the SUMO article?

Hi Joni, forwarding your 'needinfo' request to Javaun.

Hi Joni, this is not yet implemented and we don't have a timeline on it (likely next few months). I think we want to hold off on putting this in the SUMO page until we implement it.

We can work on exact verbiage, but the distinction we will need to make is something like: "When you are using Tracking Protection, Firefox will always send the DNT header to sites that honor it regardless of your DNT setting". Again, that is not implemented yet though.

Thanks

This actually got through to the SUMO page so I've submitted a new revision to comment out that paragraph until we have implemented it:

Joni, can you approve Francois' revision?

Sorry about that! Yes, I've approved it now.

This bug is about SUMO Knowledge Base content.  Should it be moved to the support.mozilla.org product?

Comment 9

[Alice Wyman]

Does the Do Not Track article or the templates used for its current content still need to be modified?

I just checked with the product team and the current content is still accurate. It is off by default (Standard settings) except in Private Browsing, unless you tick off the check box to block known trackers.
