Mozilla, maker of the open source Firefox browser, recently told the Department of Homeland Security that if you want to censor the Internet you better have a good reason or at least a legal justification. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the DHS' principal investigative arm, recently asked Mozilla to remove an add-on called MafiaaFire Redirector from the organization's Firefox add-ons site.
The government agency said MafiaaFire was circumventing a series of ICE domain seizures. MafiaaFire indexes seized domains and then redirect users to active sites that use the same name but now operate under a different Web address.
Mozilla posed a series of eleven questions to DHS about their request to take down MafiaaFire such as have any courts determined that MafiaaFire is illegal? Is Mozilla legally obligated to take down MafiaaFire? And, has the government talked to MafiaaFire about its concerns? So far, DHS has not responded to Mozilla's request for more information. Mozilla posed its questions to DHS on April 19.

Switching to Mozilla, brb.
I need to grab it, I like firefox way better anyway. Just putting it off because I'd have to download a bunch of other stuff to get youtube, my music player, etc. to work. Pain in the ass.
