How to disable hidden startups?

  • 772

When I was restarting Xubuntu, the firefox was started at startup.

But when I was going to Session and Startup, firefox is not there!

And here is the ls /etc/xdg/autostart/ output :

at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop            onboard-autostart.desktop
baloo_file.desktop                 pam_kwallet_init.desktop
blueman.desktop                    plasmashell.desktop
gnome-keyring-pkcs11.desktop       polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop
gnome-keyring-secrets.desktop      polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop
gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop          powerdevil.desktop
gnome-software-service.desktop     print-applet.desktop
gsettings-data-convert.desktop     pulseaudio.desktop
indicator-application.desktop      update-notifier.desktop
indicator-messages.desktop         user-dirs-update-gtk.desktop
indicator-sound.desktop            xembedsniproxy.desktop
kdeconnectd.desktop                xfce4-clipman-plugin-autostart.desktop
klipper.desktop                    xfce4-notes-autostart.desktop
krunner.desktop                    xfce4-power-manager.desktop
light-locker.desktop               xfce4-volumed.desktop
nautilus-autostart.desktop         xfsettingsd.desktop
nm-applet.desktop                  xscreensaver.desktop
nvidia-settings-autostart.desktop

Update: I was trying this command later but firefox not apeared :

cd /etc/xdg/autostart/ && sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' *.desktop

And here is the question, how can I disable firefox from startup?

    The another location that cause to startup applications is ~/.config/autostart

    In that location I have firefox.desktop and after remove that file my problem was solved.

    rm ~/.config/autostart/firefox.desktop
