When I first turn on my computer, Firefox first page starts up. I would like to have the option of starting Firefox when I choose. How do I disable this feature. I use Microsoft with Internet Explorer .

I don't know if my problem is the same but I wanted to be able to have Mozilla Firefox as an alternate browser so I downloaded the program. It seems to have disabled my Internet Explorer because I can't get it to even start up. I keep getting an error message.

I tried looking at the Startup as the earlier response said to do but only MacAfee Security is listed - not Firefox.

My computer knowledge is very basic so I would really appreciate clear instructions if there is a fix for this. Thanks.
