Starting with Firefox 127, we're enabling a new anti-tracking feature in Nightly: Bounce Tracking Protection. This detects bounce trackers based on redirect behavior and periodically purges their cookies & site data to prevent tracking. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1846492
This post seems to have some more detail on what that feature actually is.
This feature will be implemented via loopback starting with version 127.0.0.1
/s 😂
It sounds like it will be really hard to differentiate bounce trackers from totally valid patterns like routing through federated identity servers 🤔 I wonder how they're dealing with that

We’re working on a new anti-tracking feature: Bounce Tracking Protection. It works similar to the existing Cookie Purging feature in Firefox, but instead of a tracker list it relies on heuristics to detect bounce trackers.
It’s based on the navigational-tracking-protections spec draft in the PrivacyCG[1][1] https://privacycg.github.io/nav-tracking-mitigations/#bounce-tracking-mitigations
