For example Revo Uninstaller opens the web browser after installing. How do I prevent this ?

Not the answer your looking for but my workaround is to use the paid version of Sandboxie to force all browsers to run sandboxed. I also have sandbox rules on what can run and have internet access in that sandbox.

This part I don't follow

A quick tutorial on how to reach that filter window within comodo is ->main menu ->defense->advanced->computer security policy->"find all applications header entry"->click edit->click "access rights"->add firefox or iexplore exefiles into blocked tab.

I am trying to find out if GlassWire Firewall Basic with ask to connect enabled will block this but I doubt it.

Outpost couldn't block it.

Such things are sometimes the price of using a free version. The sandbox is a good plan.
