Mozilla opening automatically on startup Windows 8
I just posted this question and can't figure out how to reply to the post. Mozilla is starting automatically in windows 8 when I start my computer. I HAVE TRIED TO RUN MSCONFIG already!!! When I typed in msconfig to run, I clicked on startup tab. The message I got was that this process is handled in the task manager and there was no options other then to open task manager. I opened task manager and went to the startup tab to uncheck Mozilla but its not listed as being an automatic startup program. WHAT DO I DO NOW????

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
- Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
- After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
- Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default: (Note that you are not deleting your profile folder which contains bookmarks, history etc.)
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
