Firefox 41版刚发布没多久，现在，Mozilla又推出了42.0 beta版，主打隐私保护和追踪牌。这项叫做隐私浏览下的追踪保护(Tracking Protection in Private Browsing)的试验性功能将覆盖各大平台，包括Mac、Windows、Linux、Android。据悉，该功能主要针对第三方对用户使用习惯的追踪。

近期，开发商对这方面变得尤为重视。比如苹果最新发布的iOS 9，就具备了屏蔽第三方数据追踪的功能。

除 了追踪保护功能之外，42.0 beta版Firefox还加入多个其他新的功能，如桌面客户端下的浏览器其控制中心(Control Center)现具备了安全与隐私控制功能、播放音频的标签得到了新的指示标记、一键静音功能、登录管理和WebRTS功能加强、加入更多类型HTML5 和以开发者为方向的更新。

Android版(移动版)同样也有大量新增的功能如在后台打开Android软件的外部URL、无需切换软件就能打开多个链接、支持在地址栏中直接输入语音、允许用户预览、编辑及删除登录。
