set URL filtering in mozilla


New to Mozilla 1.6 This may be more difficult than imagined, but have researched and posted about ONLY ALLOWING certain URLs as a way to provide parental control to kids PC. Keep coming up with advice to:
1. Use certain software (questionable filtering and sometimes lots of $$)
2. Set popup blocking in preferences which doesn't help because of filthy text

Seems to me that If I can set to allow only certain URLs in Mozilla, then I have created parental controls for the kids. We have about 30 - 50 sites that we know never have offensive content. That is PLENTY of browsing for young kids. Seems to me that would be more logical than looking for software that uses esoteric algorithms or filtering to scour every site on the ENTIRE www, no?

Is there any way to do this in CLI in mozilla, cause I can't find it in preferences, and is it global, or should this be done with each usernames browser settings.

thanks

This is a pretty slick hack that might help:

Beyond that, I'm not aware of any way to do this with just the browser itself. In most cases it's done with a true proxy server like squid or Dansguardian using an ACL.

I know that Firefox has plugins for filtering URLs. But for Mozilla 1.6, I am not sure. Check out mozilla.org, you may find something in their plugin database.
