What is starting Firefox when I reboot my Mac. Firefox is not open when I shut down. I do NOT have 'reopen windows when logging back on' checked. I do not have Firefox in my Login Items under my user options either?

Right click the Firefox icon, go to options, is "Open at login" checked?

You can try to uninstall (move to the trash) and reinstall Firefox to see if that helps.

It is also possible that another program tries to launch the default browser in case Firefox is set as such.

Would this have anything to do with it ? 6/20/13 1:43:08.972 PM WindowServer[89]: reenable_update_for_connection: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "Firefox" after 3.48 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
