Firefox usually is not running immediately after you restart Windows. That can indicate a malware infection. See Firefox exe is always running | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help.

Before taking any further action, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case you end up ripping out Firefox and all its folders completely (e.g., with a third party uninstaller). See Backing up your information. (E.g., copy your entire Firefox profile folder to a safe place somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
