Hello,
how do you open the browser? Show your source code.
If you only use the standard "open" command for html-files, then Windows opens the Standard Internet browser, which seems to be IE. You can change the standard in Firefox settings for example.

define a m_browser
CWebBrowser m_browser;
then used for redirect a web page
m_browser.Navigate(url , NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);

CWebBrowser is the standard Microsoft control. It uses IE.
You should look for the Firefox Active-X Control and use it instead.
Read this: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/829014/How-to-change-web-browser-control-browser-to-chromIt shows the link to the documentation: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm

Have you tried the example on the webpage? http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/MozCtlDemo.zip
Compare the properties of your control with the one in the sample.
