I feel like I've tried everything to stop Firefox from automatically opening when I start my Windows 11 computer.

I've checked: task manager, the startup folder in Windows 11 (shell:startup), The registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", Settings>Apps>Startup, and also in Firefox under Settings>"Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up", and under "about:config">toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart (change value to false).

Can anyone tell me why Firefox is still automatically launching at startup of Windows 11?

Odd. Get Autoruns and search for Firefox.
