The new update to Firefox, 3.5 is blocking access to the critical anti-homosexual activist site MassResistance.org...
UPDATE: Google is now also blocking access, warning "Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this website may harm your computer."
MassResistance folks told me that Google started doing this leading up to a recent vote on a Transgender Bill in Mass., in an obvious attempt to shut down dissent. There were not aware that the new Firefox is also censoring them.
This is an illegal violation of the 1st Amendment, 4th Amendment and Digital Millenium Act. We need to get to our Representatives on this ASAP.
Two words: no thanks.
Go to www.filehippo.com and download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. That one will send it straight to hell.
it works on my Firefox
Three words - Aren’t you clever.
Claiming this is a first amendment issue just makes the author look kinda stupid. Nevertheless, it is a good reason to quit using firefox - and google for that matter.
Doesn’t block me with FF 3.5.
Four words - Yes, he sure is.
I clicked on “Ignore this warning”.
I am no MSFT fan but Firefox is constantly sending you updates. I stopped using FF.

Ok guys get a room
I have FF 3.5.1 and it blocks me. I just press the ignore button...
Same here. Google is doing this, not Firefox. The headline should be changed.
If click the button for why there is a block, you are told the following:

There may be an actual problem with the website.
Five words - What were we talking about?
Four words: Safari is still better.
I thought six came after five. Of course, an Apple fan would go the wrong way.
I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to quit talking. I didn’t realize that you were a member of a cult. :)
Unless you mean that mess which is Safari for Windows.
