Recently called "THE Parental control for Firefox!"
"This is one of the best and most useful add-ons I've seen in a while. It is very effective and flexible. It's also easy to use. My hat’s off to the designer. This will be a great tool for keeping my young kids away from bad web sites."
"I have tried a few different filters for both Windows and Ubuntu and by far, this is the easiest to administer in a home environment. It's not free but $10 for a five computer license.. it's almost free and compared to the headache of managing Net Nanny or proxies like squid/Dans Gaurdian - it's a steal.. "
"FoxFilter is still my favorite by far. OpenDNS offers a free version, but you have to put up with advertisements. Their 'deluxe' version is $9.95 per year, so that is not free."
