The Streisand effect is an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the information to be widely publicized. Examples of such attempts include censoring a photograph, a number, a file, or a website (for example via a cease-and-desist letter). Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity, often being widely mirrored across the Internet, or distributed on file-sharing networks. (via @thoughtfusion)

Also, I kinda use FF as an aggregator of external content too, so I’m not amused by the fact they have removed the ‘imaginary friend’ feature (unless it is hidden somewhere).
Update: Imaginary Friends are no more but you can still create custom users by creating a private feed group and putting in it whatever you want
