    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.

    Regards, Guido

    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-chrom

    It shows the link to the documentation: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm

    Regards, Guido

    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.
