What determines the programs that open at startup?
Environment: mac os 10, Version 10.7.5
2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
This is my desktop computer. I've noticed that it has started opening both Firefox and Chrome when I start the computer. I know that there is a checkbox when I log off/sign off that indicates that windows should be reopened.
1) I closed Firefox and Chrome
2) I left the checkbox checked "Reopen windows when logging off"
3) I logged off and logged back in.
Chrome and Firefox opened.
1) I closed Firefox and Chrome
2) I unchecked the checkbox "Reopen windows whe logging off"
3) I logged off and logged back in
Chrome and Firefox still opened.
This is trivial but annoying. I do recall that Windows had a startup folder, but I did not think that there was an equivalent folder.
I've gone through the options on the browsers themselves and I don't see anything that defaults to "open at startup"
Why do these two browsers insist on opening at startup?
