Thunderbird start alongside my Macbook. I'm not interested in this, and I'm trying to disable it. Cannot find anything in the support forums, or in the settings.

Hello.

As far as I know Thunderbird doesn't try to start when a user boots their computer, at least in macOS.

Thunderbird doesn't have any preference for it, nor on the preferences dialog box neither in the hidden about:config.

Have you checked this: http://www.wikihow.com/Stop-an-Application-from-Opening-at-Startup-With-Mac-OS-X?

It could also be that you shut down your computer before Thunderbird is completely closed and have previously asked macOS to open all the apps that were running before shutdown.
