      Trying to get Firefox to load up when my Raspberry Pi boots up (with auto login), but can't seem to work it out.

          Using the GUI :

          Go to Control Center > Startup Aplications Preferences > Add
          alt text

          Using CLI:
          From you current user home, create the following file and add the following with your editor of choice.

          vim .config/autostart/firefox.desktop
          

          File contents:

          [Desktop Entry]
          Type=Application
          Name=Firefox
          Exec=/usr/bin/firefox
          Comment="Optional"
          X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=true

            @Romo I tried the GUI method before posting here but when the Pi reboots all it says is Firefox is already running. Will try the CLI method tomorrow when i'm back in
