After my last Windows 10 update this week, suddenly, Microsoft Family safety settings STOP Firefox from starting up! Can't start Firefox. DRASTIC! DEVASTATING So I HAD to import everything from Firefox to Edge browser, just to send this message. But I left Firefox as my default browser. I am the head my Family group in Family Safety settings.

After clicking on Firefox I get the following message from Family Safety: "You can't use Firefox because of your family safety settings, but it doesn't hurt to ask" Then there's a place to click on: ASK TO USE(Firefox)

  Before clicking on this I removed internet access to my machine. ASK TO USE is a permission FROM Microsoft that never comes if clicked on. These people have HIJACKED my ability to use Firefox.

They should be sued.
