Firefox opens automatically when I log in?

We have an iMac with four different user accounts. Whenever I log in on my account, Firefox opens automatically, and it seems to take a long time. This suddenly started happening a few weeks ago, and I certainly never tried to make my computer do this. Firefox does not open automatically when any of the other users login. How do I make it stop happening, since I don't always want Firefox right away?

Go to System Preferences>Accounts>the name of your account>Login items at the bottom of the list of accounts and look at your login items. Remove Firefox and it will stop opening when you log on.

After updating Firefox, each time I want to use links, for instance out of emails, I need to separately open Firefox. Before the update, Firefox opened automatically when I used links from emails. How come?

I work on Apple MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.7
Also each time I open Firefox a small window opens as if I have to install Firefox again.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

In windows 7, how to make firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer

In Windows 7, how to make Firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I am asking how to do this with Windows 7, not xp, not vista.

You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />
That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

Hello,
You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
* Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
* See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
* History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
* Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

Iphoto open automatically when I turn computer on

Iphoto open automatically when I put my computer on and I can't solve the problem. I have checked the login items on the system preferences and iphoto is not one of the checked items. I even played with it a few times to see wether it was simply stuck but the problem persisted. I checked previous solutions to that same question but they all say to uncheck the logged in items on the accounts. Thank you so much for your help.

Do you have any external drives connected, that could be mistaken for a camera? Drives or thumbdrives with MS-DOS (FAT32) formatting? Then set the "General" preference in iPhoto "Connecting a camera" opens to "No Application".
Do you quit iPhoto when you log off? If not, the log off option "Reopen windows when logging back in" may be active and auto launching iPhoto.

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?
Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
Have you tried running Repair Permissions?
Do you have at least 15% free space available on your HD?

Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD. Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again. Any ideas?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.
