Firefox ignores Vista's Parental Controls and lets Kids download Porn

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox ignores Vista's Parental Controls and allows file downloads that should be blocked under Vista's parental control settings. A patch is promised at an unspecified future date.

Firefox 2.0.0.4, released yesterday, includes the following in its readme file: "Vista Parental Controls are not completely honored. In particular, file downloads do not honor Vista's parental control settings. This will be addressed in an upcoming Firefox release."

Wat is the use of windows parental controls. Just a way of showing universal UI for all application in windows as all the implementation requires to be done at the software.

Firefox has it's own parental controls that are more efficient in tracking a minor's progress through the web. Parents have more context specific methods of prevention as well as remote notification.

It's FireFox, one of the best browsers on the net. If it doesn't meet Vista's PC's, then it just means it has a neutrality factor in the way it was made. Of course, I support that Mozilla patch it so the PC's work in Vista, but to make a browser specific to the competition's needs is another entirely different story.

I totally agree with Martinimix, why should Firefox be forced to meet with Vista's restrictions when Vista is pro-explorer anyways? Doesn't make sense for Mozilla to actually try to fix this "bug".

nice work FF :) i think that FF is not supposed to have all vista features inside and i think that there are extensions that allow you to have some kind of parental control
