There are two primary places where default sets of domains are used: URLBar -domain auto-completion, and Top Sites suggested thumbnails. - -The source of these domains is typically the Alexa top sites lists, global and by-country. Before -shipping the sets of domains, the lists are sanitized. - -Domain Auto-completion -====================== - -As you type in the URLBar, Firefox will scan your history and auto-complete previously visited -domains that match what you have entered. This can make navigating to web sites faster because it -can avoid significant amounts of typing. During your first few uses, Firefox does not have any -history and you are forced to type full URLs. Shipping a set of top domains provides a fallback. - -The top domains list can be localized, but Firefox will fallback to using en-US as the default for all -locales that do not provide a specific set. The list can have several hundred domains, but due to -size concerns, is usually capped to five hundred or less. - -Sanitizing Methods ------------------- - -After getting a source list, e.g. Alexa top global sites, we apply some simple guidelines to the -list of domains: - - -* Remove any sites in the Alexa adult site list. -* Remove any locale-specific domain duplicates. We assume primary URLs (.com) will redirect to the - correct locale (.co.jp) at run-time. -* Remove any explicit adult content* domains. -* Remove any sites that use explicit or adult advertising*. -* Remove any URL shorteners and redirecters. -* Remove any content/CDN domains. Some sites use separate domains to store images and other static content. -* Remove any sites primarily used for advertising or management of advertising. -* Remove any sites that fail to load in mobile browsers. -* Remove any time/date specific sites that may have appeared on the list due to seasonal spikes. - -Suggested Sites -=============== - -Suggested sites are default thumbnails, displayed on the Top Sites home panel. A suggested site -consists of a title, thumbnail image, background color and URL. Multiple images are usually -required to handle the variety of device DPIs. - -Suggested sites can be localized, but Firefox will fallback to using en-US as the default for all -locales that do not provide a specific set. The list is usually small, with perhaps fewer than ten -sites. - -Sanitizing Methods ------------------- - -After getting a source list, e.g. Alexa top global sites, we apply some simple guidelines to the -list of domains: - -* Remove pure search engines. We handle search engines differently and don't consider them to be - suggested sites. -* Remove any locale-specific domain duplicates. We assume primary URLs (.com) will redirect to the - correct locale (.co.jp) at run-time. -* Remove any explicit adult content domains. -* Remove any sites that use explicit or adult advertising. -* Remove any URL shorteners and redirecters. -* Remove any content/CDN domains. Some sites use separate domains to store images and other static - content. - -Guidelines for Adult Content -============================ - -Generally the Adult category includes sites whose dominant theme is either: - -* To appeal to the prurient interest in sex without any serious literary, artistic, political, or - scientific value -* The depiction or description of nudity, including sexual or excretory activities or organs in a - lascivious way -* The depiction or description of sexually explicit conduct in a lascivious way (e.g. for - entertainment purposes) - -For a more complete definition and guidelines of adult content, use the full DMOZ guidelines at -http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/guidelines/adult/general.html. - -Updating Lists -============== - -After approximately every two releases, Product (with Legal) will review current lists and -sanitizing methods, and update the lists accordingly. |
