Firefox now has a beefed up Private Browsing mode that also kills ads

With this new Private Browsing mode, Firefox will now block all scripts that could potentially be used to identify a user, which includes those used by online ads, demographic trackers, social networks and the like. A direct result of this blocking will see relevant pages loading quicker (as the VP of Firefox Product Nick Nguyen puts it, “We don’t think you’ll mind”,) but as a consequence it will also block all ads that are deployed due to such scripts.
