    You will have to create a customized session at /usr/share/xsessions and Enable Auto-Login.

    Example:

    1) Open a file (gksu gedit /usr/share/xsessions/Firefox.desktop) and paste: 

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox (No effects)
Comment=This session only opens Firefox
Exec=/usr/bin/firefox -height 1200 -width 1600
Icon=
Type=Application
