I hope this is not a stupid question.

Does the "hosts" file work with Firefox?

By the way Randy, a OT question.
What does the favicon.ico at aumha.net mean?
A friend of mine says it mean "aum" and "ha" in another language.
If that is the case, what does Aumha mean?

http://aumha.org/about.htm

What does "aumha" mean? The name of this domain consists of the two Sanskrit
words, aum ha, the first and last letters of the (devanagari) Sanskrit
alphabet - thus equivalent to the Greek "Alpha and Omega," the beginning and
end and, implicitly, the eternity that passes between. The first, aum, most
often written in English as Om, is a sacred syllable representing the course
of breath and the life-cycle - creation, preservation, destruction - "a
symbol both of the Personal God and of the Absolute" (Swami Vivekananda). It
is "at once an invocation, a benediction, an affirmation, and a promise"
(G.A. Barborka). Ha is an expulsion of breath and a word for the Sun. As a
pun, it is also the Hebrew word for "behold," etc. One translation of the
phrase aum ha, therefore, might be, "Alpha & Omega, The Sempiternal Sun." As
you can see, this has nothing at all to do with computers (or, possibly, has
everything to do with computers). It is a mantra that, for about 25 years,
has had deep personal meaning for me.
