This week, the latest version of Firefox browser was launched, including all the crawlers, Google Analytics included.

This means traffic data is affected by using the latest version of Firefox.

Mozilla states that this change is to protect the user’s privacy.

Update: According to Firefox developers, most Google Analytics data will not be affected, so, which is good news for website owners and SEOs.
