Firefox auto open in everytime I start my laptop (it's not in the Start-up but still auto open), and a opened tab is "http://www.772267818450927.update-your-pc" How do I stop this? It's appeared since the first time I start my laptop after install Firefox

to disable firefox from start on system starup follow these steps:

  • Open Run (windows button + r )
  • Type msconfig and hit enter
  • Click Startup 
*Disable whichever program you like. 

Then go to this folder:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup Check if Firefox is in there.
