New Firefox Browser Automatically Blocks ‘Gay Propaganda’

The Mozilla Foundation released a new version of their flagship Firefox web browser today that automatically blocks access to all websites affiliated with the gay rights movement.

Firefox Family, which is still in beta testing, was developed for the "traditional values" market in the United States as well as for use in emerging markets such as Saudi Arabia and Uganda, which have strict laws against homosexuality.

In addition to blocking all gay pornography, the new browser blacklists the websites of gay rights organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and displays an error message explaining such sites are blocked as “homosexual propaganda” when accessed.

...

“Firefox Family is simply intended to provide choice in the marketplace," explained Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich in a Skype call with reporters today. "Some people buy into the gay agenda, and some people don’t. Here at the Mozilla Foundation we believe in serving both types of customers. That's what real equality looks like.

Relax. Parody. The Daily Current.

I figure GD is appropriate because of the current situation with the Mozilla CEO, but please disabuse me of that notion if I'm wrong.

1. Hate is a traditional value.

Looks like I got to dump Firefox and get something new. Any suggestions?

2. Stay with Firefox...

They've already dumped their new CEO, and issued a public apology.

Not to mention it's the best browser out there for Windows/Linux by a long shot (I still prefer Safari on my Mac)...

7. I first started using Macs in 2005 (film school)

At the time, Firefox ran like shit on OSX. It's much better now, but I've been on Safari for so long (running Mavericks now), that I just can't bring myself to change. I have Firefox installed and everything. But I always his the Safari button...

On my PC (that I'm typing from, my Mac is an audio production machine in my home studio), I always use Firefox. Since 2001 or 2002...
