Firefox is starting immediately after Booting system [SOLVED]

[ranjeet44]

Hi all,

I am new to BackBox, I'm using backbox 3.01.When I start the system, after login, firefox immediately starts up. Whats the reason behind it?

Hi,

That is not normal. Open terminal and type :

sudo insserv -r firefox

Then reboot your pc. Keep me posted.

Hi ranjeet44,
it could also be you saved the xfce session logging out or shutting down your system, so it gets restored automatically.
Check MENU -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Session and Startup and see if you have the Automatically save session on, or if firefox is checked in Application Autostart tab. You can also display session chooser on startup to see if there actually are some saved sessions.
If you cannot find anything there you can delete your saved sessions:

Code Select Expand

rm -f ~/.cache/sessions/*Then try to logout and login again...

Bye... let us know.

sudo insserv -r firefox

Then reboot your pc. Keep me posted.

That not working see the terminal output below-

root@autobot:/home/ranjeet# sudo insserv -r firefox
sudo: insserv: command not found

I was logged in as root.

If you put your propeller cap on and think what would Jesus do ?

Code Select Expand


whereis insserv


as you can see that insserv is located in /usr/lib/insserv/insserv

Code Select Expand


sudo ln -s /usr/lib/insserv/insserv /usr/bin/insserv


or

Code Select Expand


sudo /usr/lib/insserv/insserv --help



But as badblock  said

Code Select Expand


sudo rm -rf ~/.config/sessions/*


should fix that problem

If you are root why type sudo?
btw badblock tell you the way:

Check MENU -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Session and Startup and see if you have the Automatically save session on, or if firefox is checked in Application Autostart tab. You can also display session chooser on startup to see if there actually are some saved sessions.

Thanks N3tw0rk47, great support on here ;)

Code Select Expand


sudo rm -rf ~/.config/sessions/*


Just a little thing, sessions shoul be saved in .cache/sessions, not in .config/sessions ;D so:

Code Select Expand

rm -f ~/.cache/sessions/*

Thx again man! ;)
