Safari starts automatically when restarting (Snow Leopard)

Two days ago, Safari began to start automatically when restarting the system (iMac, Snow Leopard). I checked in Accounts>Login Item and it doesn't appear there. I also right-clicked the icon in the dock and the option to open when starting session was disabled.
¿Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Cannot view MobileMe Mail via Safari 5.1.1 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    I am trying to view MobileMe Mail using Safari 5.1.1 using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I can view Contacts, iDisk, etc., but for whatever reason, cannot see Mail. The page displays the message "Loading Mail..." and then stops loading. When I use Firefox, I have no issues whatsoever. Anyone having a similar issue?

    Go to Safari / Preferences  then select the Privacy tab then click: Details
    Type   apple   in the search field top right corner of the window, click Done.
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try www.me.com

  • Safari 5.0.5 in Snow Leopard allows cookies to be set despite preferences set to NEVER.  How do I correct this glitch?

    Safari 5.0.5 in Snow Leopard allows cookies to be set despite preferences set to NEVER.  How do I correct this glitch?

    I just upgraded Safari to 5.1.5 and I'm having the same problem.  Despite the settings to BLOCK all cookies, cookies pile up like snow in a blizzard.  Ironically, the only site I've encountered whose cookies are actually blocked by Safari's preference setting is Apple's.
    I couldn't log in because my preferences were set to BLOCK.  Doesn't stop any other site from setting cookies, only Apple's so far.
    As for Lion - I've been told it's unstable.  I have already lost half my music files upgrading to Snow Leopard and
    would rather avoid going through that again after spending a great deal of time retreiving the loss.  I've decided to wait until all of Lion's glitches are resolved.
    Here is a link to the many pages discussing this cookie problem, and no solution in sight.  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3140339?start=150&tstart=0
    I assume you are on Lion.  And Safari's cookies preferences work as expected for you?

  • 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.

  • ITunes does not start automatically when iPod is connected

    iTunes used to start automatically when I connected iTunes. It no longer does. Can I fix that?
    Dave

    Connect your iPod and open iTunes. Towards the bottom of the iPod screen, there are four check boxes. The top one says "Open iTunes when iPod is connected." Check that box and click apply. If it is checked, uncheck it and click apply, eject and reconnect your iPod, then recheck it and click apply.

  • ITunes doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

    Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

    hi joyful!
    just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
    is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?

    If you have the exact same problem - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  If you have AppleCare call them!

    In windows 7, how do I make firefox start automatically when I turn on the pc

    That worked, thanks. When I turn on the pc, I almost always go to the internet before anything else, so this eliminates one step. It doesn't seem to save any time, however, but it is easy. If anyone else wants to try this, it looks like it's very easy to undo if you change your mind.
