About FoxFilter

FoxFilter was recently called "THE parental control for Firefox."! FoxFilter is a personal content filter add-on for the Mozilla Firefox browser that helps block pornographic and other inappropriate content as well as block access to user-specified content and Web sites. FoxFilter includes password-protected settings and security features to help prevent it from being bypassed, un-installed or disabled. A password recovery feature is also included.

FoxFilter helps block content for essentially any user-defined Web site or criteria. You can quickly and easily block content for an entire site (e.g. Playboy) or enter custom keyword filters (e.g. videos, movies, images/pictures, porn, nudity, gambling, explosives, etc.) that will be used to help filter content and block web sites and block pages for any website that contains these keywords.

Using FoxFilter

When installed, you should see "FoxFilter Settings" in the Firefox "Tools" menu. You can use this feature to change your personal preferences and sensitivity for FoxFilter.


Sensitivity Settings

If FoxFilter seems too sensitive, please keep in mind that if "Examine Body Content" is selected in the Sensitivity Settings, FoxFilter can be too 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.


Common Filtering Keywords

Per Microsoft, here is a list of keywords that are common in bulk, unsolicited, and adult e-mail. These same keywords can also be used as a starting point for Web site content filtering.
