Firefox autostart (solved)

Hi all, I'm having an odd problem with Arch, Firefox automatically starts up after each boot but I haven't put it in autostart so I can't see why its doing this.

I'm using KDE, a virus in Arch? I thought having linux meant an end to the I need an antivirus, firewall, antispyware etc time!

Try closing firefox before leaving kde.
Otherwise, try finding the option in kde control center for starting with a clean session.

Who said you didn't need a firewall with linux?
About virus and spywares, I never saw any, but afaik there are a few linux viruses.

Are there any entries in the ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory?

Cheers!
