The startup folder does not have a fire fox entry. The system configuration startup tab does not have a firefox entry. A startup entry for firefox cannot be found by sysinternals.

How do I stop firefox from starting up when I boot Windows 7 32 bit?

We need a hint about what might be causing this. Is Firefox opening up to your home page, or to some kind of software update information, or to an advertisement?

In addition to the thorough list generated by Autoruns, you also might check the Task Scheduler.

  • Windows Vista/7: Start button > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler
  • Windows XP: Start button > [All] Programs > Accessories> System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
