Whenever I start my computer usually 2 or 3 fire fox windows open without me clicking on them to start. When I checked in my task manager Fire Fox is not one of the start up programs that starts when the computer does. I cannot figure out why this is happening or how to stop it. It is just one of those minor annoyance things.

Check if firefox shortcuts are present the following folders:

1. C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

2. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

What pages are loading in those 2 or 3 windows? Those may be a clue to what's causing them and Firefox to open.
