If you don't want to use Firefox,   then I wonder why you have Firefox installed ?

BTW :   according to your system details it's an older Firefox version even.

The best thing I can suggest right now is to uninstall Firefox from your system :

Sorry to hear that you prefer Chrome over Firefox, though .....

Hello   GhostRider,

As you don't want Firefox to be your browser;   maybe you could post this on Google Chrome's support forum :

https://support.google.com/chrome/community?hl=en

You could also consider posting your question on the official Microsoft support forum,   using this link :

Firefox was installed when i bought the laptop,i have tried to uninstall it but it requires "administrator right" even though my account is admin account.I would have used firefox if it allows me other websites and my extentions. Thank you

I just tried to uninstall firefox by your method but it didn't work

Could you let us know how Firefox "won't allow other websites"   -   do you get the "404 error" on every site you try to visit ?

And could you also let us know which extensions Firefox won't let you use ?

I have sent a private message to a fellow contributor and asked him
to help you, cause I don't know what's going on here (sorry .... )

While waiting for my colleague to come to the rescue,   I found this :

Any good ?

And just to make sure that you have set Chrome to be your default browser:

Make sure you are logged into the computer as an administrator.

It's possible Firefox was installed by an administrator, so an administrator needs to remove it.
