Our county uses a filter named SOPHOS. If we use firefox it blocks everything. We are told to use Google. We cannot download the latest version of Firefox.

The County IT Department is very sketchy on why they are making everyone give up using Firefox. I'm an open source guy and so are a lot of other employees. We want to know if there is an ongoing effort to eliminate Firefox for public employees?

My guess is that Sophos is implemented as a proxy server. If you try various different proxy server settings in the following dialog, does it make any difference? Can you compare the corresponding settings in IE and/or Google Chrome?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab, click the Settings button.
As for the larger question, I can't think of any reason your IT would want to get rid of Firefox, other than aggravation over updates or concern over some add-ons. There are more tools than ever for IT departments to take charge of how Firefox is configured so it is easier to manage -- if that is the issue. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise
