Firefox starting when mac boots up

When my Mac boots up Firefox 9 is starts up. For the life of me I do not know why this is happening. I have checked everywhere what I could think of that is causing Firefox to start up when my Mac boots up (I have checked in Login Items under Users and Groups and the Dock Icon).
Can anyone help me.

  • OSX 10.6 .8 -- Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options. Don't know where else to look.

    How do I keep Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (OSX 10.6 .8 -- MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options.

    Hi fullrun-
    Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps.

  • Ical automatically starts when I boot up but I don't have it set to autostart. Why ?

    ical automatically starts when I boot. I have nothing set to auto start. Any ideas?

    I now have double entries for all of my contacts since I downloaded 3.0 software to my iPhone 3G. Can't figure out why. I sinc with an IMac and I have mobileme. Looked at my settings on iPhone and I don't see why this is happening. Anyone got a suggestion?

  • Somehow firefox has started when i boot up. how do i stop this and only start it when i want to?

    This started when I visited the website of Tom Tom GPS. Now every time I boot the computer, Firefox opens and my home page is Tom Tom. I don't want Firefox to open when I boot and I don't want Tom \Tom as my home page.

  • Why does Firefox start when I open Dreamweaver after I unstalled Firefox

    I uninstalled Firefox, yet when I open Dreamweaver Firefox loads immediately. Why?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After installing Firefox ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

    I completely uninstalled the printer and drivers and restarted the computer. I then uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1, restarted the computer and then reinstalled the printer (from the previously downloaded exe file, because I don't have the CD for the printer). Unfortunately, neither of those things worked, but I did notice that when I uninstalled Firefox, it asked if I wanted to save settings, and I said yes and it seemed to remember the Dell 720 printer in the "about:config" menu. So, maybe uninstalling Firefox without saving settings would make a difference. What do you think? Also, I just noticed in the "Add or Remove Programs" menu in control panel that the icon next to "Dell Photo Printer 720" is a little recycle bin, which seems a bit odd. On the dell.com forum, someone suggested using Firefox 5.0.1, available at a different website. Is this worth a shot or are there other more conservative troubleshooting suggestions to try first?

  • How do I prevent Firefox from automatically starting when I boot-up my Mac in the morning?

    Whenever I boot up my Mac in the morning Firefox automatically starts and displays my home page. I would only like to see the desk top with no applications running. I am running OSX 10.4.11 on my laptop.
    == Started possibly a few weeks ago.

    Hmm.. Okay I've done a bit more digging and tried the following two things before the last restart.. Not sure which one actually worked but give these a shot (one at a time) and let us know which is the ''actual'' solution! :)
    1. Open Safari -> Preferences -> General
    - change "Default Web Browser" to Safari
    - Close all applications
    - Relaunch Safari and change default browser back to Firefox.
    2. Remove the check from "Reopen windows when logging in" in the logout dialog and logout of the computer..
    I suspect step 2 is actually the proper solution, but I did both so, hopefully one of them works for everyone else!

  • Tried doing a clean install of lion and now have a folder with question mark appearing when mac boots

    I purchased a 2011 mac mini I was having some issues and as I had already bought lion for one of my other macs and put it on a usb key I formatted the mac mini's hdd and put the usb key in to one of the Mini's usb ports and booted the mini up and held down c when the white scren appeard it stayed white for a few secnds and then a folder with a question mark started flashing no option to select my connected usb key I tried several more re boots and each time got the exact same result.
    What on earth has apple done so now I can't even access attached drives during booting.
    Any ideas how I can sort this out?

    Maybe it is not "what has Apple done"   You may have jumped the gun a little formatting your system so quickly without ensuring you can actually boot via an alternate method.
    The mini has a recovery partition, and instructions how to reinstall the OS from that.
    USB drive. Sounds to me like you don't have a proper OSX Bootable USB drive?
    Also, the new way Apple allows reinstallation is over the internet too.

  • How do I keep ITunes from automatically starting when I boot my PC?

    Everytime I start my PC, my I tunes starts automatically. I close it an it automatically starts again 5-6 minutes later. It happens when my IPhone is not connected. The problem began immediately after I updated to the new IPhone iOS 5 software.

    I appreciate the help attempt greatly, however, I do not have an Iphone, only an Ipod that I use with Itunes. Basically I have Itunes on my Windows PC, (NOT MAC) and it just has a mind of its own and opens randomly, whenever. I have scanned and searching the Itunes application for something to click off for automatically run, or something to that effect and I see nothing. There has to be a way to disable Itunes from running automatically. It has nothing to do with whether or not my ipod is attached.

  • Firefox crashes when Mac OS X 10.6.8 wakes up from hibernation

    Firefox has crashed now multiple times within a month in following event:
    - Firefox browser is open (with 1 or more tabs) and Mac OS X 10.6.8 wakes up from sleep - whenever clicking to Firefox to continue browsing, it crashes immediately.
    Open tabs have never been really heavy pages or something.
    Simple as it is; If browser is open when waking up the Mac, it'll crash immediately when trying to use it.
    EDIT: Browser was updated the same day question was posted::.

    Go to System Preferences/Users/Login Items
    Select the application you want to stop opening and click the minus button.

  • OC4J start when windows boots

    I wanna start OC4J Instance as a serviec when windows starts, does anyone have any idea how i can do that. Thanks for ur help

    We are using Service+ from nicoware.net to run OC4J as a service.
    It works very well. I think it is written with OC4J in mind, because one of the example files covers how you can use Service+ to run OC4J.
    They have a full functional demo version available for download at http://nicoware.net/software/download.php

  • Turn off the chord that plays when Mac boots up

    When I power on the Mac plays a chord for a couple of seconds,  I want to turn that off.  how please?

    Try this:
    Launch the Terminal app on your Mac (it’s inside Applications > Utilities), paste in the following, then press return:
    sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80
    If you ever change your mind and want to get the startup sound back, you can reenable it by using this command in the Terminal:
    sudo nvram -d SystemAudioVolume

  • Bluetooth not starting when iMac boots

    Recently, I have noticed that the Bluetooth does not come on when I power on my computer. Since I have a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse, I can't even restart the computer so I have to do it manually by holding down the power button. I go through this process of manually restarting the computer anywhere from 1-3 times before the Bluetooth comes on. Now I do not turn off the computer at night, but rather put it to sleep so my Bluetooth works in the morning. Any suggestions to this problem? Thanks!

    You'll probably do better by searching, browsing, or re-posting in the +Using Leopard+ forum, as this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Time Machine.

  • When I boot up I get a complete white screen and can't access any thing including task bar. When I right click and hit properties it says it is a Firefox docum

    I downloaded a video in a zip file, when it started the whole window went white. When I right click on the screen under properties it tells me it is a Firefox document. I rebooted to fix the problem and I saw a brief view of my wallpaper and desktop icons then back to the white screen. When I boot up or log in to the admin account (guest account is fine) I get a pure white screen. I cannot access any thing including the task bar. The only way out is to reboot and the problem repeats. I have booted with my anti virus program and it finds no problems. When I exit the anti virus program there is the brief view of the desktop and back to the white screen. HELP, I don't want to lose everything because I have to reload the OS.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

  • When firefox starts, any previously saved tab loads...with dead links. I can't make a tab die and stay dead! It resurrects on firefox startup, like a ZOMBIE.

    I made tabs long ago thinking that it would be easy to change them. Over time some of those links perished. But firefox won't allow me to kill a tab. Sure, I can close it as it is loading, but I have to do that every time at firefox startup.
    I want to be able to add AND SUBTRACT tabs, AND MAKE THAT CHANGE STAY. But every time when firefox starts it tries to load tabs that have those dead links. I don't need school closing information from 2 years ago!!!!
    That's what I get for treating tabs like bookmarks. Anyway, can you help me kill the zombies?

    A few helpful hints:
    1) Don't bump your post. Everyone here is a volunteer and if your answer is slow in coming it might mean the right person hasn't yet read the post, no one can figure it out, or the question is so vaguely stated no one knows what the problem is. I suspect the last possibility is the case here, which leads to
    2) State your problem first, not what you did. When we know what the problem is then we can take in all the details. Speaking of details, if you don't know which details are important and which aren't, leave them out. We'll ask for the details we need.
    If Snow Leopard can be installed on your computer you must have an Intel based Mac and having an Intel Mac means USB will boot your computer.
    I suspect that your problem is software too but we won't know without a fresh install and I recommend that your erase the drive and start fresh. Install Snow Leopard, install your applications, then transfer your data. Since your problem, or at least part of it, appears to involve your personal account I'd recommend that you not transfer it via Migration Assistant. Kappy has written an excellent guide about how to manually transfer data. It was specifically written for migrating from a PPC to an Intel computer but the same idea applies here so the instructions are 100% valid. You'll find it here.
