Mozilla, Firefox join anti-SOPA strike

Mozilla, the open-source organization responsible for Firefox, joined other major technology companies today to protest anti-piracy legislation by blackening the browser's home page.

From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET, Firefox's default home page — essentially a search field for Google — will change from its usual white background with the Firefox logo to a blacked-out version displaying a modified graphic emblazoned with "Stop Censorship."

Meanwhile, the English language versions of Mozilla's sites — mozilla.com and mozilla.org — will redirect visitors to an "action page" asking for their support in stopping what it called "Internet blacklist legislation."
