Firefox Auto-Run on Windows

What the heck Firefox? Who gave you permission to automatically start on my Windows box? And what bozo VP decided that making auto-start default on install (or be a hidden little opt-out button somewhere) was worth making a little more money in a certain quarter, while you totally damage the Firefox name.

    I think some people believe that a computer is always online. Anyhow there is a remedy. [1]

      That article takes 15 pages and 9 ads (some of them very sketchy) to say the following:

      Ctrl-Shift-Esc -> Startup -> Firefox -> Disable.

      And the facts were pretty slanted. If the page didn’t have so many ads I would say it was probably written by Firefox people.

        My sincerest apologies. My old firefox loaded sharply, no ads, just the singular page which seems easy to navigate

        I would probably have opted for the first method, from within firefox's settings. Else opted for something different like about:config and searched out DisableLaunchOnLogin setting
