Comment (by cypherpunks):

 There is also the value `privacy.trackingprotection.enabled` which is set
 to `false` by default (meaning it only works in PB mode). I think both
 this value as well as `privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled` need to
 be set to `true`.

 From my experience, `basic` seems to very rarely (if at all) break any
 sites core functionality but it is much more common for `strict` to break
 sites. If not in the security slider, it would be seem ideal to implement
 it in a similar fashion to allow users a tradeoff for increased privacy.
