Hi, I recently investigated the "Family Options and Settings" available on Windows 10 for a childs account and here is what I found:
You can add a restriction for the child to stop using Firefox, you can either allow it or block it entirely and he will not be able to start Firefox at all. After Firefox is allowed to start absolutely no restrictions apply to it, every Blocked Website or safe search only applies to Microsoft EDGE. The only restriction you can set is a time limit for Firefox, where the child only spends one or more hours on it, I guess we can work with that but even so it does not do much. I guess the only testing we can do is Allow Firefox to run and do a Smoke validation run to see what works and what doesn't whilst on a childs account. We could also do a bit of exploratory testing while playing with the Time limit imposed by the parent and see what happens when the timer runs out while browsing the internet.

Are there any other ideas on what we should focus on ? any restrictions that come to mind ? The Parental Options can only be set online from the Microsoft account and it seems it only covers EDGE. Please let us know what other scenarios we can do in order to cover more ground.
