Hello!

Visit this page as it will tell you how to make FireFox your default browser

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-firefox-your-default-browser?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=How+to+make+Firefox+the+default+browser

Consider uninstalling Google Chrome. It does not respect your privacy and sends tremendous amount of logs to Google's Servers and other third parties that sell the data they collect on you.

BoBrowser could be a kind of malware infection. I saw it listed here with various removal steps: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-bobrowser-virus/

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
