I have only recently installed firefox and this didnt start straight away but for the last week or so on the first boot up of the day after all background programs have loaded chrome (my default browser) opens up to a mozilla page telling me to download firefox in my language. I had no problems with chrome doing this before I installed firefox and as said its a mozzila page that chrome goes to not google which is chromes home page as if firefox is waning to open and go to the mozilla page but as its not my default browser it makes chrome open up the page instead.

Can you post a screenshot of the screen you are seeing? This will be more effective way to help you.

Hi, it looks as if that is the page from which you downloaded Firefox?

I can't be specific, since I don't use Chrome but...

Check in Chrome settings that you haven't got something like 'When Chrome starts shows windows and/or tabs from last time.'

If that doesn't help, try deleting any Firefox cookies and clear the cache.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

I'm not sure that removing Firefox will fix it, since it seems to be an issue with Chrome.

One thing to try is to right click on the Chrome shortcut icon on your Desktop > Properties, and see if it has Firefox in 'Target.' If it has, you can carefully remove the Firefox bit. Alternatively, open the Start Menu > All Programs/Apps - or do a search for Chrome, then right click on it > Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). You should now have a clean shortcut on your Desktop and can right click > Delete the old one.
