Nightly Suddenly & Unexpected Starting with Windows

Firefox 업데이트

Out of nowhere, the Nightly browser starts with Windows & a new profile. This forces me to go to Settings to uncheck the setting for Nightly to start when I start Windows.

First, the setting "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" should never, ever be checked by default.

Second, this has happened on both my Win11 computers with Nightly. What is concerning is that somehow a Nightly update out of the blue created a brand new profile--I have a specific profile I use for my Nightly installs--with the start with Windows startup setting checked. This should not happen even with an alpha app like Nightly. The update process should only be using the profile running when the update process takes place.

This forces me to run the Firefox Profile Manager to delete the profile that was created out of the blue.

Honestly, if this is not addressed, I will have to stop using Firefox, Beta & Nightly. I have Firefox since it first was pre-version 1.0, but I refuse to use an app that thinks it is acceptable to make default a setting like Start with Windows startup.

I can't speak to the profile issue so that's for someone else to pitch in, however the DefaultWindowsLaunchOnLogin is IIUC something being worked on recently (and is something that should only ever come from user choice at the time of creating the downloader, before even installing).

I take it you understand Nightly is a bleeding edge version before weeks of QA, and users of Nightly are helping uncovering bugs on the days they land. This flag should not turn on just by the updater on its own. Given you are affected and can potentially provide some logs, could you please file a bug so that it gets in front of the right people in case this is not known yet?
