Firefox starts whenever I turn on my computer. I have a PC, not a Mac. How do I stop this?
Whenever I turn on my laptop, Firefox tries to load. It doesn't make it because it tries to load before my wifi connection establishes and so I get an "oops" message. I don't want it to load when I start my computer at all! How do I stop this?
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== This is recent..but it happens each and every time I start the computer.

Do you have a shortcut to Firefox in the Startup folder?
do a scan with the free version of Malwarebytes : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

If Firefox isn't in the Start > Programs > Startup folder then do a malware check as suggested above. --- Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
