This is not enabled by default. To enable it (and this works in both the Windows/Mac version, and Android version):

- In the URL bar, type about:config and press Enter.
- The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
- Search for privacy.trackingprotection.enabled.
- Double-click privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to toggle its value to true.

This will turn on Tracking Protection. If you later want to turn it back off, repeat the above steps to toggle the preference back to false.

Well here is something interesting. With it turned on (true) yahoo web mail (use it for frontier) won't download attachments.

That's interesting. They may use a third party cookie for that.

I'll probably leave it off myself because I use NoScript which effectively blocks everything unless I white list it, and I don't need something obscure to break.

I've had that on (set to true) for the longest time, as this was posted somewhere before. I have no problems with Yahoo and viewing/downloading attachments.

Yep. It was driving me crazy until I googled for it with the fix. I had to disable it when downloading email. Not a big deal, since I now use Thunderbird to view and manage my Yahoo emails.

I had it already enabled, but some sites like SI still take a long time to load.
