I've not tried locking down FF before but I did jot down some documentation about how to set up a transparent proxy for a community wireless network. The same should apply to your LAN too. Go to http://www.justuber.com/publicwifi:public_wireless_internet_access and check out the transparent proxy bit. As I recall, it lets traffic on any other than port 80 go on to it's destination, but redirects port 80 through the content filtering. Chris
