All you do is set the firewall to block all outbound traffic. Then you create
an outbound program rule. In my case I permitted Internet Explorer
(%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) to communicate out over all
protocols and all ports. After that IE could browse the web but Firefox could
not. I just tested it and went through the wizard clicking Yes on most
everything.
Start with that very open rule. Then start putting in more restrictions
until you see what breaks.
I still question the need for this exercise, BTW.
