ver 63.0.3, 64-bit; Now is opening on startup of windows. It is not in startup (now in task manager, not msconfig). This is really irritating! How do I stop this? Edit the registry?

hi, this is a new feature on windows 10: Firefox starts automatically when I restart Windows

This is not an answer! I don't want the new "feature". The question is how do I make this stop.

the main part of the article i've linked to is explaining just that.

Got it. It wasn't clear what you posted was a fix. Thanks.
