    Not talking about the same thing here.. FireFox does not have untraceable surfing in its current version.. It has add blocking such as pop up and cookie prevention but this is a different type of traceable surfing they are talking about..

    1. Its an add on
    2. it does not totally keep infomation from being entered on your computer. (again its not the same thing Microsoft is developing. similar yes but not the same.)
    3. it's buggy for most

    again Firefox does not "come" with this feature...
