When searching images (google or any) with kids for school projects we often get nude, crude, lewd, etc. - what settings can we adjust to keep that type (and other porno type things) out of the results? Thank you. using firefox 3.6

Hi greensouthern, Firefox iteself doesn't have any filters for that, but you can configure Google to use safe search. Here is a video about how to do that: http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2009/11/locking-safesearch.html
