Sensitivity Settings (Please Read):
If FoxFilter seems too sensitive, please keep in mind that if "Examine Body Content" is selected in the "Sensitivity Settings", FoxFilter can be VERY sensitive. You may encounter blocking for many non-por*ographic sites, such as Yahoo.com, that contain "fre e" and "se x" somewhere in the body content. You can either choose to not examine the Body content and just examine Meta content, Title and URL, or add URL exceptions as needed.
When installed, you should see
in the lower-right corner of the Firefox browser window. You can click on this image
to make changes to you FoxFilter settings, or you can click on "FoxFilter Settings"
in the "Tools" menu. If a page is blocked, FoxFilter displays a friendly notification
indicating that the page cannot be displayed due to filter settings.
