Browser on my Mac opens twitch automatically

My browser (firefox 117.01.1) after I've restarted my computer, opens up a link to the Twitch login.

I USED to be a twitch streamer and for the life of me can't remember how this was setup.

How do I find out why this is automatically opening the twitch login?

Then you probably should be in the Developer section and not the section for reporting issues with using the forum software. Thy this:

I still think Twitch is far more likely to help you with this. App-specific questions here about third-party products can take a long time for the right person to see it.


I'm not trying to run you off but, after 20+ years here, I have a pretty good sense of what does and does not work in this user-to-user setting. I only want you to find the most effective help for your issue.

Thank you, Allan. I will hit up the 'developer' section.


Things seemingly involved: Firefox.


Some things seemingly not involved in this question: app development and the developer forum, and seemingly also Twitch.


If your question is about how to prevent Firefox from opening a web page when you first launch Firefox, and you no longer want to view that web page, check the app settings within Firefox.


First, check the home page setting: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page


If this is not your Firefox home page setting, and involves Firefox launching automatically when you first log in, then check your login items in  > System Settings > General > Login Items — in versions prior to Ventura, the login items are in  > System Preferences > Users & Groups > select your user > Login Items


If I have not correctly understood your question, or the above does not resolve this, please post back here.
