If a post that is otherwise appropriate includes links considered to be spam, those links will be removed. * You can add an image, such as a "screenshot" of your computer screen. Added images must help explain a Firefox problem or solution. Inappropriate images will be removed.

Do not try to deal with them yourself. * Administrators have the final say in modifying, interpreting, and enforcing these rules.
