Hi guys--here's the copy. 


Top Section:
Header:"Opt out of Ad Tracking"

"Firefox now includes a feature that allows you to better control how you're tracked as you browse the Web. You can now check a box in the advanced preferences dialog and then a HTTP header would be sent with all HTTP requests so all servers know the user wants to opt out.Although this is not a signal that most websites are currently looking for, it hopefully will become the standard for how people can communicate their tracking preferences in the future."

Bottom Section:
-please move "More feedback needed!" from the top section on top of the bottom section, so above "How are your favorite sites performing?".

Thanks James--We got updated text:

The Do Not Track feature in Firefox tells websites that you want to opt-out of tracking used for advertising. You can check a box in the Advanced Preferences dialog to tell all servers that you want to opt out. Firefox is leading the Web towards a universal standard with this feature, but you will not notice any difference in your browsing experience until sites and advertisers start to respond to the header.

Thanks,

L

Last change (I swear).  We think we got the right mix of militant/non militant now--

Opt Out of Ad Tracking
Firefox now lets you tell sites you don't want your online behavior tracked for advertising purposes: check the box in the Advanced Preferences dialog to notify all servers you want to opt out. (Note: although Firefox is leading the web towards a universal Do Not Track standard, you won't notice any difference in your browsing until sites and advertisers agree to respond to your preference.)
