There is no possible reason for you to do this. If anything, browsing
with Firefox is safer (and better) than with IE6. Aside from disabling
the usb ports, there is no way you can stop this behavior. I suggest
you have a talk with your grandson to discuss the underlying issues
you have with him and his user of your computer. If he is downloading
things you don't want onto your computer, this has nothing to do with
the browser he is using.


Not so. There are many reasons not to use a foreign browser in XT.

For example, using Firefox will void your warranty and cause your cat to
have warts.

Recently, a chap in Wales was using Firefox and a sixty-pound hunk of "blue
ice" from a passing BA airliner fell through his greenhouse, destroying over
80 bromeliads.
