Mozilla has released its latest Firefox browser update, Firefox Quantum, and it ships with a new version of Firefox Monitor that will tell you whether a site you\u2019re visiting has suffered from a security breach.<\/p>\n

Firefox Monitor 2.0 will also tell you whether your details have been leaked online and desktop notifications will alert you if a website has been compromised over the last 12 months. You\u2019ll also be able to see extra details, such as how many accounts were affected by the breach and what happened.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re concerned you\u2019re going to be spammed with messages every time you browse the internet – you\u2019ll only see the notification once. So if you\u2019ve already been told about the potential security issues, you can safely navigate back without being told again.<\/p>\n

You will also be able to disable the notifications with a few clicks, straight from the notification, to prevent it from becoming a nuisance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re bringing this functionality to Firefox users in recognition of the growing interest in these types of privacy- and security-centric features,\u201d the company said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

Those downloading and installing Firefox Quantum will start seeing notifications over the next few weeks as Mozilla gradually switches it on.<\/p>\n

Firefox Monitor works by pooling together notices of data breaches and the data that’s been reported stolen in such breaches. You can easily check whether your personal details have been stolen in a data breach, by checking them at monitor.firefox.com and then signing up to future alerts.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing part of a data breach is not fun, and we have tips and remedies in our project, Data Leeks,\u201d Mozilla added. \u201cThrough recipes and personal stories of those who\u2019ve been affected by a data breach, we\u2019re raising awareness about online privacy.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
