"tell sites I do not want to be tracked" doesn't seem to work.
I have "tell sites I do not want to be tracked" but it never seems to work.
Ex. I just went to a site and then immediately after went to "accuweather .com" and saw an ad for the exact same site that I just visited.
This happens constantly.

Selecting the "do-not-track" setting will only make Firefox send a specific HTTP header ("Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked.": DNT=1) to a web server. It is up to the server to do something with that request.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Tracking: "Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked"
- "Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences."
- "Tell sites that I want to be tracked." (DNT=0)
- "Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked." (DNT=1)

The Do not Track preference is just that, a preference. Sites have to choose to honor that preference.
Tyler,
What do I choose to stop tracking?
Thanks.
You can do some of these things: Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track
