Problem: Browser Console window opening automatically on startup

Hi...

Why does the browser console window open automatically every time I open Firefox and how do I stop that?

Does this occur with every new window (e.g., Command+n) or only at first launch?

I don't know how shortcuts work on Mac. Is it possible to modify your desktop/dock shortcut to open particular addresses???


One possible culprit would be an extension. You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  • type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return

In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions.

Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. Any extensions Firefox installs for built-in features are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage. Anything suspicious or that you just do not remember installing or why? If in doubt, disable (or remove).

Any improvement?
