Firefox opens on my PC win10, prof 64 bit on start up. Up to date... both Ff and windows. 

I do not want it to.
I like to open the browser myself.

This is how I have always set it. I have not changed the settings. Is it an up date or a virus issue...? Especially if a virus is present I do not want it to open...

Please let me know how to set the browser not to start until I ask it to.

Thank you, Anna

Look here as well. But also you can search for specific issue before posting as this is a user help site and they read and post help when they can.
