Lately, every time I turn on my computer, Google comes up as my browser. I believe that Avast, for which I have a paid subscription, is responsible for this hijacking. I have never used Google as a browser, nor do I wish to. I have to constantly maneuver to use Firefox. I am not omputer savy, so I need help.

1. How can I prevent this? 2. Is there a Federal Agency to complain to? 3. Is Firefox aware of this?

Thank you, Nick M.

Google doesn't hijack. Chrome is the browser so this doesn't make sense here at all. And Firefox forum user help has nothing to do with how and why Avast does what it does. That is for Avast support to respond to your concern about their software.
