Firefox does not have built in parental controls.
Have you tried this --> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms711320%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Your firewall may have built-in or optional parental controls. (visit their site)

How can I block bogus web site that keeps trying to update firefox? Need to identify bogus site too.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff - updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can always initiate a manual check for updates in ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
you could also help by pressing F10 & going to ''help > report web forgery'' while you're on this dubious page - this might get the page into the list of malicious sites that get blocked in firefox (the actual list is maintained by google) or when such pages use the firefox logos or trademarks to trick users into downloading malware you could also file it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/.

How to publish custom web site with own domain name?

Hey out there. I wonder if anyone can give me any tips on how to publish a web site with my own domain name.
I have a web site I'm building and I want to purchase a domain name and then publish the site using that domain name.
I know how to buy a domain name. I have a .mac account so I'm hoping that .mac can host the site. What I don't quite understand how to do is get .mac to host the site using that domain name. I looked through Apple Support but couldn't find what I was looking for. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation. Thanks in advance.

Dave ~ Welcome to the discussions. .Mac was re-branded as MobileMe last July. If you're not building your site with iWeb, it's considered to be a "custom" website. These Apple docs may help:
MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
iWeb ’08: Using your own domain name
...Use this search page to find such documents:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
Note that you don't need to have iLife '08 to be able to direct your domain name to your custom website published to MobileMe. As someone wrote on another thread:
"My personal domain is linked to my MM but i don't even have ilife on my mac. When you go to the options in MM to link your personal domain to your MM it provides directions that will guide you with setting up your godaddy settings."
...Where "MM" is MobileMe here:
http://me.com/account
...+Personal Domain+ tab, and "godaddy" is wherever your domain name is registered.

Did the Flash plugin crashes also happen with a previous version (10.1) of the Flash player?
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). 
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

I get redirected to unwanted web sites during searches from the browser ONLY, never from the toolbar. Is this the same malware problem as discribed for redirects from BOTH the browser and the toolbar?

Did you do a malware check?
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Unwanted web sites display

When searching for a specific web site with Google, Firefox redirects to unwanted web sites. These web sites are usual "junk" web sites that have nothing to do with the search we are conducting. We have the latest version of Mozilla and have tried everything to prevent unwanted web sites from displaying. For example, if I enter "Monster.com" in the Google search form, the Firefox redirects to "nfeed.com". Several other web pages will also try to be displayed and eventually Firefox crashes. We have un-installed Firefox and then did a re-install several times now. We also have the latest Internet Explorer but we do not encounter these redirect issues when using IE.

Every time Firefox opened
== updated to Firefox 3.6

Parental controls are not blocking specific web sites

Using 10.6.1 I am unable to block specific web sites through the parental controls. The site in particular I was trying to block ended in .tv/ Is there a problem in snow leopard or is this type of site not able to be blocked?

There are a variety of Adobe services that need to remain enabled in order for Photoshop to work.
I would log in to the administrator account and make sure anything with Adobe is set to "allow."
Then, log in to the restricted account and test. If Photoshop works as expected, you can turn off one item at a time until you find the one that "breaks" Photoshop's functionality.

How may I stop an unwanted web site which loads on start up?

After looking at this web site, it or an associated web site loads on opening firefox

I just to confirm that you checked the home pages, Firefox can store multiple home pages.
What is the site that keeps on appearing?
If it is the Firefox has updated page, see [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]].
You can try running Firefox in [[safe mode|Firefox safe mode]] which will disable extensions and themes to test to see if one of them is causing the problem. If the site does not appear in safe mode, follow the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article to identify the culprit.
A possible cause of random pages loading is malware. If you suspect there is a chance that this is caused by malware, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

How to access old Web sites that exist in iDisk Sites folder

I have old personal Web sites that still appear to exist on my iDisk, under Home>Sites. But if I can't remember their URL, how do I access them? It seems that if I can see them on iDisk, there ought to be some sort of option to access them or to find the URL. No matter how much I poke around on iDisk, I can't find any way to access these old Web pages. Any idea?
I can download the parts of the site, and I guess I could re-assemble them, but why bother, if they are already set up and sitting on iDisk?

How do I prevent web sites from identifying me?

Various web sites seem to know who I am and where I'm from. Amazon evens emails me with suggestions based on my searches. I need to improve my privacy.

There are so many levels of 'privacy', its hard to say where to begin.
Amazon probably emails you because at some point you made a purchase there and opted in to receive emails from them. If you use a search toolbar or plugin of some type offered by Amazon, this is where they'd get the information about what you've been searching for aside from what you've done on Amazon itself.
As for websites knowing something about where you live, this is based on your IP address. This is something you simply can not hide if you wish to access websites on the internet. Its a bit like being able to figure out where you live based on your phone number.
You can do things like being cautious about how you use your email and what you allow websites to do with your information when you order from them, and you can delete cookies which help websites track you, but don't expect you can ever be perfectly anonymous and unidentifiable on the internet.
