Mozilla is starting an initiative called Polaris, together with other privacy-centric organizations. https://blog.mozilla.org/privacy/2014/11/10/introducing-polaris-privacy-initiative-to-accelerate-user-focused-privacy-online/
Polaris does not refer to a single product or software program, but rather to an initiative dedicated to advancing user privacy across the internet. Components of the project include:
- Working to stop tracking code.
- TOR support.
This will include a number of Mozilla hosted TOR middle relays to boost the network. Here's the wiki with more details.

Seriously, Mozilla. You broke your main product, killed or let flounder all projects that would have done some good. Now you're just throwing shit to see what sticks. The problem is you don't even have walls (a consumer base) anymore to see what sticks. And yes, I did just compare using Mozilla's new products to having shit thrown at me.
As another poster mentioned, this just sounds like yet another privacy invading and ad serving initiative by one of Mozilla's overpaid sociopath CEOs trying to make a short-term buck before parachuting out.
