Isisombululo esikhethiwe

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 :

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 ?

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.
