New Firefox 3.5 and Google Block MassResistance.org
Google ^ | 07-28-09 | FreepShop1

Posted on 07/28/2009 6:56:09 PM PDT by FreepShop1

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.

That message is from a piece of malware/scamware called "Personal Antivirus". Its insidious, and Spybot won't remove it.

Go to www.filehippo.com and download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. That one will send it straight to hell.

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.

I am no MSFT fan but Firefox is constantly sending you updates. I stopped using FF.

Since 2005 the MassResistance blog has been hosted on Google's blogspot blogging site with few problems.

One moral of the story is don't let Google host your blog.

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:

Of the 304 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 4 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-07-28, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-07-28.

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.

I have Firefox 3.0.11
It blocked me (there is a small click-link "ignore this warning" in the lower right corner of the warning box though).
I went to the top left of the browser window and clicked "Edit"
Then clicked "Preferences"
Then clicked the Security (with the padlock icon above it) icon.
Unclick the box next to "Tell me if the site I'm visiting is a suspected attack site".
