How do I turn on parental controls?

I searched this question in Firefox, but all I found was this:

Firefox checks the parental controls on your computer and sets itself to Prefer:Safe mode. This automatically turns on the safety feature on each website your child visits, as long as you have the parental controls active on your computer.

The parental controls are on for my child's computer login, but inappropriate sites still came up when searched. How do I fix this?
