Hi Blu589, I don't know the answer to "why" there isn't a Do Not Track feature on Firefox for iOS. Firefox for iOS is still being built out, and Mozilla has set up a special page for feature suggestions for Firefox for iOS:

https://fxos-ios-browser.ideas.aha.io/ideas/new

Or you also could use the more general feedback page accessible through the Settings dialog:

  • Tap the tabs button
  • Tap the gear/wheel/cog icon
  • Tap "Send Feedback" to open the feedback page

About this part --

-- you may have a different idea of what Do Not Track (DNT) does than what it actually does. When you turn on DNT, Firefox sends an additional bit of data with your request, which is that you prefer that the site not track you. How the site responds to that request is completely up to the site (subject to any laws that may apply in countries with a strong privacy regime). It doesn't actually stop the site from tracking you or stop any third parties from listening in. It's more of a voluntary standard.

The limits of this feature are described in the related support articles:
