Minor update for a typo.
In 2016, we started the Tor Uplift project to take the Tor Browser patches and "uplift" them to Firefox. When a patch gets uplifted, we take the change that Tor Browser needs and we add it to Firefox in such a way that it is disabled by default, but can be enabled by changing a preference value. The Tor Uplift project saves the Tor Browser team work since they can just change preferences instead of updating patches. It also gives the Firefox team a way to experiment with the advanced privacy features that Tor Browser team is building, to see if we can bring them to a much wider audience.
The primary target in of the Tor Uplift project was two features: [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/FirstPartyIsolation '''First Party Isolation'''] and [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Fingerprinting '''Fingerprinting Resistance''']. First Party Isolation was shipped in Firefox 52 (off by default); the MVP of Fingerprinting Resistance will be shipped in Firefox 59 (also off by default).
'''Fusion''' is the next big step of the Mozilla and Tor collaboration. We hope to move the needle on Web privacy based on the success of the Tor Uplift work.
