Google has taken over and won't let me use Firefox today

more options

I have been a Mozilla Firefox user for years, today I used CCleaner and since, have not been able to use Firefox as I wish. I downloaded a new Firefox Browser, installed it, was able to use it for a short while, but when I stopped using the computer for a while and came back to it, I can only get Chrome, and cannot get Firefox up and running again...I have even uninstalled Chrome in the control panel, but it is still popping up when I click on my Firefox icon!! Help!! FF is my default browser, has been for years!!

I have tried to attach a screenshot of Google on my computer, it won't let me attach it, no matter where I save it. How do I get them out of my computer? I need help!!

I have tried task manager, 7 instances of Firefox w/0% CPU, No instance of Chrome showing.

Hi kthywin, the browser you posted with identified itself as Firefox. Maybe the issue is that the tab bar design changed completely in Firefox 89? Instead of having sharp-cornered connected tabs we now have a floating button with four rounded corners for the active tab. No other browser looks like that.

Are you noticing other changes that remind you of Chrome?
