Youtube Safety Mode will turn on if Windows 7 Parental Controls are enabled.

Youtube Safety Mode will turn on if Windows Parental Controls are enabled.
If I disable parental controls, safety mode safety mode will turn itself off. But if parental controls are re-enabled, safety mode will turn itself on. If I then try to turn it off manually, it says that it's been disabled, but it still stays on.
The only parental control that's enabled is the time limits. There are no other restrictions enabled. There is no other filtering software installed. It is doing this on three separate machines.
This is a problem specific to Firefox. Chrome and Internet Explorer do not exhibit this behavior. For the moment, they are using Chrome, as I do not wish to turn off parental controls.
This is recent behavior, within the last week or so. Prior to this, it didn't have any problems at all. I don't have an exact date when it started, but it sounds like it was one of the last few upgrades.
Is there a configuration setting to tell Firefox to not look at parental controls?

Apologies. I hadn't realized info here didn't filter its way back.
There was already a bug filed. If anyone else reading this has this issue, please comment there.

  • Windows Parental Controls

    Hello,
    I can’t access Windows Parental Controls
    I got this message:
    Unable to make changes to parental controls setting.
    If this problem persists, see your system administrator.

    Check out the settings in this knowledge base article: [[Block and unblock websites with parental controls]]

  • How can I turn off notifications for parental control time limits?

    Tears of frustration from my two boys every night as their parentally controlled hour of Minecraft is spoiled by the countdown warnings which HAVE to be clicked -  amounting to fatal hesitation in their game in progress.
    Can these time notifications be made passive - or turned off completely?
    Ideas for a workaround?

    i dont know about whatsapp or other 3rd party apps 0 they may have setting options to do what you want - but for text messages and Facebook posts you can go to Settings/Sounds and set the sound for those 2 things to None

  • When I don't have the BROWSER menu option turned on, the WINDOW menu options are un-accessable by mouse

    First of all, I would like to clarify which "menu" is un-accessable.
    I'm referring to the menu that regardless of which program, a user can access by either clicking ALT + SPACE or by clicking the top left corner of the window. I'm NOT referring to the FIREFOX menu options, those I am fine with.
    Normally, I can just move my mouse to the top left corner and double click to close a program. I used to be able to do that too with firefox 3.6. However, due to the new design, when I click the top left corner, I get the orange Firefox drop down menu. This is because firefox, due to the new update, no longer has an independent window bar that is the norm across most programs. The only way I can get this independent menu bar is to enable the browser menu bar. This however, adds two entire layers of bars, which defeats one of the purposes of the update, to give more viewing space
    The Chrome browser also has the tab row on top, however, it doesn't have the issue I brought up. When I click the top left corner of the window, the regular WINDOW menu options pop up.
    The reason why this is important to me is due to the fact that I use two monitors. Normally, I can just move my cursor to the top right and close the window without looking for my right hand side monitor, and then double click the top left hand side of my left hand side monitor to close the window. This is because with a 2 monitor set up, the "X" close button is located inconvinently in the middle of my two screens, forcing me to aim for the tiny small red rectangle, which is why I prefere to double click the top left corner; I don't have to aim.
    I have long been a loyal user of firefox. Browsers like Chrome and others have been out ranking firefox for a long time, mozilla is only playing catch up here...
    While I am glad for the update - better speed due to JaegerMonkey, the added hardware acceleration, the tab groups, and more, if the window menu problem is not resolved soon, this update is going to force me to switch browsers.
    I look forward to a fix, or response on how to resolve this issue.
    Many thanks,
    Still a firefox user... for now

    it's possible but there is likely no need to do this. what exactly is wrong with your computer? a simple reinstall of snow leopard on top of your current system will cure many ills and will preserve your data and applications. and many problems can be solved without reinstalling at all.
    but if you insist on doing a wipe and install boot from the SL install DVD and start disk utility from utilities menu at the top. erase your hard drive using the erase tab in disk utility. then quit disk utility and proceed with the install. and if you do reinstall I suggest you back up your data first. otherwise it will be completely wiped when you erase your hard drive. and you should always back up anyway.

  • TS1369 ipad will not connect to windows cpu

    ipad will not connect to windows cpu

    If you are still having problems after all those tips I would suggest trying another cable the one you have may be faulty. An iPhone cable is fine for sync, but wouldn't suggest it for charging. Other than that call apple support, log a problem, and most likely they will help you book a appointment at an apple store.
    I use a win7 64x machine and have no problems so I doubt windows is your issue.
    Good luck.

  • Turning off parental control

    Parental control will not let me connect to various websites. (eg. Met Office) I've updated my DNS TWICE and turned Parental Control off TWICE, but it still won't connect me, because of Parental Control! Received an email from BT saying that I have CANCALLED Parental Controls, then I try to get a regularly used website and still get this message "
    You're seeing this page because BT Parental Controls is active and you are attempting to connect to a DNS server outside of our network.
    You may have selected a different server in your network settings or installed an application that uses an alternative service."
    Ready for throwing the computer out of the window!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You will have to actually uninstall Parental controls, and not just turn them off.
    Also make sure that all devices get their DNS setting automatically, or make sure the DNS setiings are set to 192.168.1.254.

  • Parental controls won't turn off.

    Since installing OS X 10.8.2 my iMac keeps asking to override Parental controls in order to access websites in spite of the fact that Parental controls are not set to restrict access to websites. This happens even if I turn off Parental controls altogether.

    I have a workaround that worked for me - sort of.
    Option 1: Create a new user account. This particular parental controls issue seems to only affect upgraded accounts, so a new user account won't have the same issues.
    Option 2: Disable parental controls until Apple can provide a real fix or until you can do Option 1. Follow these detailed steps: (a) Promote the affected user to an administrator. (b) Reboot. (c) Log in as that user. (d) Demote that user to a regular user. (e) Do *not* enable parental controls. (f) Reboot. (g) Log in as that user again. The annoying errors should be gone, but you won't have parental controls. If you enable parental controls again, the errors will return, even if you disable parental controls. You'll have to go through the whole promote/demote thing again to make the errors go away.
    I don't consider either of these workarounds to be very good, but they may be better than what you're currently experiencing.
    Once you fix this issue, you may still have to deal with this issue in OS X 10.8.2 - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4322178?start=o&tstart=o
    I'm also wondering if there's a .plist file somewhere that can just be deleted (and automatically rebuilt at next reboot), but I haven't gotten that far yet.

  • Parental controls--turning off safari only way to control explicit content?

    The password protected parental controls I think are a great idea especially when it come to viewing the web. However I have a few questions:
    1. is turning safari off the only choice for controlling explicit content?
    2. I understand turning off safari makes the safari icon disappear but if I turn off safari I would still like to be able to run website specific apps like Ebay--is that still possible?
    4. Does anyone know if there are any SDK developers working on more robust internet filtering for the iphone?
    5. Alternatively, can iphone's parental controls (or perhaps a SDK app) keep the user from deleting the browser history without the password so it can be monitored?

    my kids at age 7 are not allowed on the internet and I have to make a safe website list on my wifi router.
    I know if they bring it to a friends house then its will be wide open and they are not allowed to do so yet.
    I hope a kids safe app will be made or some parental controls to be made available soon

  • Safety mode on YouTube is enabled and no matter what I do I can't get it to turn off, only on this browser. Please explain to me how to fix this.

    None of the other threads on this topic were able to fix my issue. This wasn't happening until a few days ago when it notified me that I couldn't view a video because safety mode was apparently enabled, so I scrolled down and clicked 'off' (about 50 times) and nothing changed. I never turned it on in the first place, and using YouTube is a part of my job. It works fine in Safari. Any help is appreciated.

    You may have run into one of YouTube's "enhancements" since it's now owned by Google. It's offered by Firefox if you want it, like for your (possibly) young kids, but if you have it "off", you may have to have a Google account.
    I resent it too, don't have nor want a Google account. They want to know all about you so if you buy a garbage can they can offer you another garbage can.

  • How to lock Safety Mode for YouTube on AppleTV

    I noticed the new YouTube update for Apple TV has Safety Mode, however it looks like you can turn it on or off only. Is there a way to lock it?

    The setting you choose, either on or off, is remembered by  the YouTube app so it will remain as you set it.
    If you are asking is there a way to prevent someone else from changing it once it is set then the answer is no, there appears no way to lock it.

  • YouTube App - safety mode?

    The pre-installed YouTube displays videos of any rating and the offensive language present in many comments on videos. Using YouTube in a browser it is possible to turn on and lock-on "Safety Mode" to ensure my children don't see inappropriate content. I'd like to do the same in the YouTube app on my son's iPod Touch and on my iPhone.
    Is this possible?

    You can just restrict the app as a whole under restrictions.

  • Safari won't let me disable safety mode for Youtube

    Hi community,
    I have tried a number of ways to do this and consistently failing. Youtube is locked into safety mode and I cannot disable it. My Google account is not in safety or filtering mode. Youtube works fine when I log in on Firefox. But when in Safari, and I scroll to the bottom of the Youtube page and click disable safety mode, the screen does not return to Youtube it goes nowhere, and when I get back on, safety mode is STILL ACTIVATED. This only happens when I'm using Safari. Can anyone help? I'm on a pretty old Safari I must admit - 5.1.10 - but I never used to have this issue until fairly recently. I don't know how it happened!?
