In OS 10.7.5, after quitting on shutdown, how can I stop Firefox 23 from automatically opening on restart?

Before I shut down my computer, I quit all my open applications. This makes startup cleaner. But now, upon startup, Firefox 23 automatically opens...not Safari, not Mail, just new Firefox 23. This would seem to be the new default. Can I stop this behavior?

See:

* http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#tutorial=startup - Open Applications Automatically on Startup
* Control-click on the Firefox Dock icon and uncheck 'Open at Login'
* Click Accounts (in the System row of the System Preferences window)
** Click the Login Items tab
** Click on Firefox in the list
** Click the Minus (-) button

    You can also manage all permissions on the about:permissions page via the location bar.<br />
    Use "All Sites" to set the defaults.
    You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.<br />
    Firefox uses the about: protocol to access internal Firefox (setting) pages.

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

    How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
    variables?
    Example:
    "...write to you@<!--#echo var="uu" --> and ..."
    is changed by DreamWeaver to
    "...write to you@
    <!--#echo var="uu" -->
    and...>
    When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
    and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
    isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
    the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
    incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
    uploading.
    Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
    Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
    this problem?
    Thanks
    DearWebby

    DearWebby,
    We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
    here for
    the sake of posterity:
    1. Edit > Tag Libraries…
    2. Open HTML Tags folder
    3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
    4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
    5. Click OK
    HTH,
    Randy

  • How can I keep Firefox from saving my my last visited websites, even after I log out and Force Quit?

    I quit and Force Quit Firefox when I log out of my MacBook Pro. Lately when I re-start Firefox, it has saved my last few visited websites and asks me if I'd like to restore these, or quit. How can I get Firefox to stop saving these sites and really quit?

    hello, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
    as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • How do I stop Firefox from auto-reloading pages after I close one window but not others?

    This happens when I have two or more separate Firefox windows open. If I close one, and then open a new window, it automatically goes to the sites that were open in the window I closed (as if it were restoring after a crash).
    This isn't an issue when I only have one window open, and I have already set the following:
    browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0
    How can I get this to stop?

    accessibility.blockautorefresh is not about restoring tabs from the previous session, but about preventing website from using the location response header to redirect to another website.
    Firefox will always reload web pages.
    Firefox always needs to reload tabs when you restore tabs from the previous session.
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: [X] "Don’t load tabs until selected"
    If restore_on_demand is set, pinned tabs are restored on startup by default.
    When restore_on_demand is set to true, the restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand pref overrides that behavior, and pinned tabs will only be restored when they are focused.
    browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand (pinned tabs)(false)
    browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand (default as set in Options -> Tabs)(true)
    browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs (tabs in other tab groups)(false)

  • How can I STOP ical from deleting all my events after a month or so

    No matter how I set the preferences/settings it always keeps deleting all events after 30 to 40 days.
    I have gone into preferences and checked off the
    "DELETE EVENTS AFTER...
    and put 99 or 999 days and it doens make a difference
    If Ileave the box unchecked - it STILL doesn't make difference
    Anyone has a suggestion?
    as I keep loosing all the important info/phone numbers I enter.
    Thanks
    Bruno

    Bruno,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are you using any sync software?
    The easiest thing to try is to refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart, and make sure the deletion preference is not checked.
    ;~)

  • When restarting firefox after a crash, how do I stop it from re-opening all web pages that were open at the time of the crash?

    When firefox crashes, or if it hangs and I have to kill it, then when I go to restart it, it tries to re-open all pages that were open at the time it crashed or was killed. This is incredibly annoying, especially if one of the visited pages caused the crash or hang. It is also really annoying if some of the web pages happened to require passwords to log in, from multiple sites. In my case this occurs as I am frequently logged into multiple online educational web sites like ucsc-extension.edu and berkleemusic.com. In the login case you get multiple login prompt pop-ups with no way to correlate which pop-up goes with which web page. If there are a lot of them then it's a hopeless mess. This behavior is something that I never ever want and it infuriates me that not only is it the default behavior, it is something that there seems to be no way to turn off, at least via the configuration menus. Am I wrong? Is there a way to turn this off? If not can somebody either make it configurable or get rid if this fantastically idiotic behavior?
    I suspect there's a command line option for this but on my Mac (or most systems these days) it's sort of "unnatural" to be starting programs like browsers by means other than a provided program start-up icon, which gives you no choice about the command line options.
    Besides, as a default behavior the current behavior is something I cannot conceive of ever wanting. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == firefox crashed

    You can try this.
    In the address bar type about:config you will be warned that this is dangerous.
    Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
    Double click on true to toggle it to false.
    Exit the page.
    Firefox will now NOT try to reload websites after a crash.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from automatically deleting photos from my camera after import?

    I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 and importing photos from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS35 via USB.
    From what I can gather, iPhoto should prompt me after an import as to whether I want to delete the imported photos from the camera or not.
    Instead, I get no option at all and iPhoto goes right ahead and deletes the imported photos.This is a problem as the camera is shared and used across a few Macs.
    I can't find any options anywhere in iPhoto to prevent this behaviour. I've made sure that iPhoto is launched with the camera (I thought this might be the problem initially), but to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks Tom,
    I fear that either I'm stupid or blind because I don't see that option in the Advanced pane either.  Here's what I have in Advanced:
    Enable this account
    Include when automatically checking for new messages
    Compact mailboxes automatically (this is greyed out)
    Keep copies of messages for offline viewing (then a pull down menu):
         All messages and their attachments (currently this is selected)
         All messages, but omit attachments
         Only messages that I've read
         Don't keep copies of any messages
    Check with your system administrator before changing any of the advanced options below:
         IMAP Path Prefix:
         Port:
         Authentication:
    Use IDLE command if the server supports it (this is greyed out)
    I see the option you're talking about on my older computer that's running Leopard, but not on the new one running Lion.
    Cheers,
    Bonnie
