For all the good things that it is known for ( speed, security and other handy features), the Firefox browser is lacking a built-in parental control feature like the one found in other browsers. One may wonder why that is ? Maybe, and I am only speculating here, because of the profile of the average user of the browser as a young tech savvy, probably single person with no worry about kids surfing the Internet. Despite the absence of a dedicated parental control feature, users of the Firefox 3.0 version or newer who own a PC with Vista, can take advantage of the parental-control features that come with the Windows operating system.
If you don't have Vista or want something else, some Firefox add-ons are available. Among them, Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox browser recommend a few, like Glubble for Families and ProCon Latte.
