* the audit did not properly identify "porn sites"
"instances of inappropriate access were registered by the audit if parliamentary staff accessed sites that contained links or advertisements to pornographic or gambling material."

the "porn sites" with by far the biggest number of hits were local newspaper ones, apparently because they included on-line dating ads

Comment 5 of the 7 add-ons I use don't work (Score 1) 145

I use a set of development add-ons, most of which
I believe are being actively maintained.

downloaded Mozilla 3.6rc1 yesterday and found
only Firebug 1.4.5 and Firecookie 0.9.1 seem compatible

Mozilla doesn't report Torbutton 1.2.3 as being incompatible,
but using it results in a javascript exception.

Mozilla reports these 4 as being incompatible

Mozilla Rolls Out Firefox 3.6 RC, Nears Final 145

CWmike writes "Mozilla has shipped a release candidate build of Firefox 3.6 that, barring problems, will become the final, finished version of the upgrade. Firefox 3.6 RC1, which followed a run of betas that started in early November, features nearly 100 bug fixes from the fifth beta that Mozilla issued Dec. 17. The fixes resolved numerous crash bugs, including one that brought down the browser when it was steered to Yahoo's front page. Another fix removed a small amount of code owned by Microsoft from Firefox. The code was pointed out by a Mozilla contributor, and after digging, another developer found the original Microsoft license agreement. 'Amusingly enough, it's actually really permissive. Really the only part that's problematic is the agreement to "include the copyright notice ... on your product label and as a part of the sign-on message for your software product,"' wrote Kyle Huey on Mozilla's Bugzilla. Even so, others working on the bug said the code needed to be replaced with Mozilla's own."
