Hello ameno,

Create a new shortcut for Firefox on your desktop. Right click on it and select Properties. On the Shortcut tab next to Run is a drop down menu. Select Minimized. Click OK Add this shortcut to your startup folder.

Note: some peograms and apps will start normal size for a second and then go minimized.

Thank you very much. This way worked ( if I remember right) in former editions. In my new edition, Firefox 67.02 it doesn`t work. No clicking anyway, no VBScript, nothing :(

Hello ameno,

If you normally launch Firefox from your taskbar 'maximized' it won't work.
