      Not quite, in 2018 they did add tracking protection to their list of goals for their Private browsing mode and have implemented features to reduce tracking/fingerprinting/etc while in it. The main focuses though were still the same at the start though: protecting against local data being saved.

      We target Private Browsing to 3 privacy goals; in a Private Browsing session, Firefox:

      • Doesn’t save the browsing history or display it in the Firefox UI
      • Prevents the session’s data from writing to persistent storage
      • Protects the session’s data from online tracking
