How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I startup my computer?
A while ago I setup Windows so Outlook and Firefox opened automatically when I log on. Now I want to stop FF from opening automatically. I have gone into the Startup folder and removed the shortcut to FF several times but it keeps coming back. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in the Windows Programs Directory to xxMozilla Firefox and that didn't keep it from loading. If necessary, I will remove FF from my computer altogether but I would rather not do that.

Hi burtw,
This isn't really a Firefox issue per say, but more of a Windows question. You'll probably have better looking looking in places like:
Hopefully this helps!

You can use the Sysinternals Autoruns application to locate other sources/locations where Firefox may be starting from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
Thanks Matt and tneubauer. I tried Matt's solution first and it solved the problem.
Aaarg! I tried Matt's suggestion of using msconfig, restarted my computer, and it seemed to solve the problem. Today when I turned on the computer it hung up before loading Windows. I had to use the F12 button to get it to load. I did and it did and Firefox did not load.
Now, this evening, I turned on the computer, the startup procedure was normal, and there's Firefox fired up and ready to go!
