I have no checkbox for "Tell websites I do not want to be tracked"!

I have XP and Firefox 5.0. Followed the directions for not wanting to be tracked, but in Options, general tab ( under Advanced) has no checkbox for this. The last checkbox is "Check my spelling as I type". The instructions show "Tel websites I do not want to be tracked" as last checkbox. Is there a way to get this? Many,many Thanks in advance.

That preference was moved to Options > Privacy -> Tracking in the 5.0 version.

Selecting that "do-not-track" setting will only make Firefox send a specific HTTP header (DNT=1) to a web server.
It is up to the server to do something with that request.

well.. uh... maybe it's moving around on its own..

It used to be under Option + Advanced + whatever.

It may have made it over to Security for awhile... ?

but,

In the flavor that I just installed, It shows up under Privacy.

go figure ??? all in the name of make'n it easy to find... gotta love it.
