NOBODY NEEDS FIREFOX STARTUP FOR 'Open previous windows and tabs' !!!!!!

[JBER2024]

Whoever implemented to have 'Open previous windows and tabs' to be in useless much 'Startup' is genuinely a moron!!!

I mean, I don't want to open FF on device bootup. THAT USES UNWANTED RESOURCE FOR THE DEVICE!!!!

NOW, I have to content with FORCEFULLY starting FF even if I removed checkmarked for 'Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up' unchecked? ARE YOU A MORON CODERS?

You sure want us unckeck both and loose tabs???

SURE, I WANT 'Open previous windows and tabs' BUT NOT AS **bleep** STARTUP!!!!

Hello... help me understand what's happening to you. You should be able to decide whether "Open previous windows and tabs" and "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" are enabled completely independently of each other. One shouldn't affect the other. Are you seeing otherwise?

Explain away as much you like, but it is both on "Startup" and you explanation is making these setting redundant no matter what. Coding error has been made.

I'm failing to understand the issue.

They are both "Startup" functions, one is related to the Ooperating System (Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up), and the other is related to when Firefox starts up (Open previous windows and tabs).

They are independantly set.

This is not a coding error.

Unless you can explain the error in more detail?

As you can see on the screendump, I never wanted FF to be a part of startup. Heck, I have it set from device settings to never start. 

As it started to start with the device, which I never want out of my device.

IT IS UNWANTED.

It can too be exploited as persistency, nobody wants a persistence FF starting on each device startup.

Heck, it too can be malware-persistence issue in the future.

-Also, page rendering are horrible. Now, you have to wait for period of time before it fully render. Even simplest typing and page scrolling has rendering issues.

Are you saying you have "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" unchecked, but Firefox still starts up when you turn your PC back on?

If so, are you puting your PC into sleep, hibernation, or full shutdown?

If you're putting it into Sleep/Hibernation, then the PC normally returns you to whatever programs you had open before Sleep/Hibernation, and as such Firefox is not at fault (providing Firefox was open before you initiated Sleep/Hibernation).

If, however, you are shutting the PC down, and have "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" unchecked, but it is opening automatically after startup, then you should submit more information confirming whether you have Firefox.exe in your user or device startup folder.

I tried putting checkmarks and close it and uncheck it and close it. Now, it stopped starting with the device. 

I guess the patch to latest edition made it corrupt and it doesn't start with the device now, after re-applying the settings.
