Setting up Parental Controls - Firefox

Last week, we shared with you on how to set up parental controls in Internet Explorer. This week, we are going to share with you on how to set it up on Firefox browser. Firefox does not feature built-in parental controls however parents can install a third-party extension to filter explicit material on the web. After installing it, you can edit specific safety and security features that are included with the add-on.

To set controls:

1. Go to the official Mozilla Add-Ons site
2. Perform a search for security add-ons by typing "Parental Control" in the Mozilla search box. A list of available parental control add-ons, such as FoxFilter, ProCon Latte and Suricate, will appear on the page.
3. Review the functionality of each available add-on and select your preferred option by clicking on the "Add to Firefox" button. Depending on the add-on you choose, you may need to purchase the add-on and register for an account.
4. Click on the "Install Now" button to begin the installation process. After installing the add-on, you will be prompted to restart Firefox to complete the installation process.
5. Edit the Internet filter and security features for your new parental control. To edit the add-on features, click on the "Tools" tab and select the "Add-ons" option. After the "Add-ons" window appears on your screen, click on the "Options" button and enable your new parental controls.
