As an administrator in a small office, i am using trend micro add on as a web filtering. But all of my web filtering rules will gone if the add on is disabled by my fellow officer in their PC. And i can't find any settings to lock it down.

I ask for this features because firefox is my favorite browser, and i want to keep using firefox. I Tried google chrome, and for now i cannot find how to disable my trendmicro web filtering on chrome (which is a good thing) Internet Explorer just not an option, it's too obsolete.

If firefox not updating this features in the near future, i will need to use chrome in order to patch my office security. Please update as soon as possible.

Any add-on can be disabled by starting the browser in Safe Mode.

What you should use is a blocking program.
