I cannot seem to find a setting to disable Firefox 3 from opening on computer start up. Whenever I restart the computer Firefox automatically opens. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyway to stop it?

Thank you very much. That has been bothering me for quite some time.

Click and hold on an application's Dock icon, and you will also see an "Open this application on log-in" item that you can check/uncheck.

It does the same thing as the System Preferences' login items.
