Hi:

It's there in the logins because I wanted it on the Dock when I needed it. It's been unchecked in the logins for a long time. It's just now loading up when I boot up. I had Safari checked because I wanted it to launch. I thought that's how it was done. At least it's been working until now. Guess I'll remove Firefox from the Login page since it's misbehaving.

Thanks for the info.

Rita

So, it's not "checked" --- but it is there then?

Because the checkmark only toggles whether the app will be visible or hidden. If it's checkmarked, it will be hidden. If it's not checkmarked, it will be visible. (as in your situation now)

But so long as it even exists in that list, it will be launched.

So select it and click the the minus sign in the [+|-] widget at the bottom, to remove it from the Login Items list.


Too bad, i just cooked up a wicked cool terminal command, but we probably don't need it...

grep -i Firefox {,/System,~}/Library/{Launch{Agents,Daemons}/,\
Preferences/com.apple.login,StartupItems/}* /etc/mach_init*/* 2>/dev/null

cool
