My question is above. I like having FF as a secondary browser. It's annoying that it starts up on it's own. It's a totally up to date iMac running OS X 10.11.1 and El Capitán. There is advice that I don't understand that says to open System Preferences and go to Accounts. That, simply, is not an option. But that advice was written in 2013. Please?

Hello, if firefox open automatically whenever you log in to your Mac, go to mac System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > delete firefox from there.
