[SOLVED] Three terminals and a browser on startup

Whenever I log in to xfce, it automatically opens three instances of xfceterminal and one of firefox.
I have checked (to my knowledge) all of the places where startups happen. I went through this wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Autostarting.

I know I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know what it is. It's not in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and it is not in /home/sappur/.xinitrc.
It is not in /etc/profile or in /etc/bash.bashrc.
I don't have zsh or cron.

What am I missing?
Sorry if this question is too newbish.


It's not a big deal. I usually do need at least one terminal and the browser when I start up, but I just wish I could understand it enough to make it go away lol


EDIT: It's also not in the XFCE startup settings. Just to be clear.

Do you remember writing a custom unit file for systemd? Because one other place to look at would be

systemctl list-units

especially the rightmost column.

EDIT: Another check would be running

journalctl -xe

right after the startup of the four applications. You could find some info there as well.

Doesn't XFCE have a remember session option?

Try Settings -> Sessions and startup -> "Session" tab -> Clear saved sessions

Re: [SOLVED] Three terminals and a browser on startup

Check for .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart

Either delete the files or add this line to the bottom:

Hidden=true

This has solved it. I didn't realize there was a session-saving tool in XFCE. Thanks for all y'all's help
