As a typical sign that a major software product is ready for launch, mozilla.com is down and the release of Firefox 3 had been rumored for Any Day Now, so I guess half of the known universe tried to check all at once and took out their servers.

Content filter plugin for Firefox

A common problem for parents is whether their children will accidentally discover unsavory content while online - an innocent search for "boobie joke" might get them more than they were expecting. There are lots of programs out there that purport to solve this, but the majority of them simply keep lists of inappropriate websites that you have no control over, which very often have political motives behind the content blocking.

Firefox browsing carrots?!?

For the last two days the Firefox install on our home PC has been behaving oddly, specifically moving the arrow keys no longer moves the page as a whole, instead it scrolls through the text like in Notepad, MS Word or something. As it turned out I had inadvertantly turned on caret browsing/navigation where you can move around the page and select content with your keys rather than the mouse.
