• How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I start my computer?

  Some time ago I set up Windows for Outlook and Firefox open automatically when I connect. Now, I want to stop FF to open automatically. I went in the startup folder and deleted the shortcut to FF several times but he returns. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in Windows programs to xxMozilla Firefox directory and has no stop from loading. If necessary, I'll take off my computer completely FF, but I prefer not to do that.
