Have you tried turning off firewall for it?

Yes and it is still giving same error

This problem has started when I removed Firefox and installed chrome

This issue is now resolved after installing Firefox and setting it as default. But my concern is why it doesn’t work for chrome?

After making Google Chrome as default browser the problem is resolved.
