my brother has mozilla firefox and at startup it automatically launches and it slows everything down to a crawl. DLoad and install Startup CPL from Mike Lin...
This will add a Startup Icon in Control Panel where you can safely control what loads on startup...
Be careful what you turn off though ...you can RENDER Windows un-bootable by turning off the wrong items.
FireFox is safe to disable.i figured it out thanks though it was set up to start up in the firefox settings and i turned it off and now it works just fine I'm UNCLEAR on this...where in FireFox can you configure it to automatically start upon bootup ? ?ive looked on the options menu for the latest firefox and 3.0 beta and there is no mention of this feature.
are you sure its not the Firefox preloader which can start on startup....
just a suggestionYeah, there's nothing like that in 2.0.0.14. The only thing that mentions "startup" is "ALWAYS check to see if Firefox is the default browser at startup" and that only has to do with when the browser is started, not Windows.This is why i suspected a Red Herring...as a matter of fact i can't recall any version of FireFox that had this option to automatically load at startup....
There's more to the STORY here.we should just wait for a response from the original poster before jumping to conclusionsIt's an observation...but i suspect it will become a conclusion.I unchecked always check mozilla firefox as a default browser and it stopped doing it at startup.This does not load FireFox at startup......
