If you have several browsers in your computer like Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera installed, are you comfortable for them? Probably, you may say yes for you could open them separately and could multiple Internet job in one setting. In my case, I do avail of them and has made my work easy and fast.

What, however, annoys me is when I open my computer, the instant popping up of Firefox. Have you experienced that? I don't want to uninstall it. What should I do to stop from its automatic opening?

Well, if it’s coming up automatically when you start the computer, most probably it is saved in your startup folder I guess. You need to remove it from startup. I have been using Firefox browser for the last four years and never experienced this issue. Programs or shortcuts placed in startup folder will execute automatically whenever Windows starts.

Just click on Start button, then type msconfig > click on msconfig.exe. In the window that opens select “startup tab” and see whether Firefox is featured there. Just uncheck it, hope it works. Please share your experience here.

That is strange for a browser to show popup when starting the computer. If it was when starting the browser, it can be normal. I have been using firefox for some time and haven't experienced anything like that. I think perhaps one of your extension installed in firefox is causing the issue.

Even I am same kind of you. I have installed 3 to 4 browsers on my computer system. I am having opera, chrome, firefox, internet explorer, etc. But from all of them I am mostly using Google Chrome. I found it bit faster in compare to all other browsers.

About your problem, honestly I really don't know the answer. I can't predict the problem behind it. May be your system is facing some kind of virus which is opening your firefox browser automatically. Is your firefox is opening with some kind of page or blank page?

The only browsers that I have are Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

I think Firefox, overall, is the best.

IE is just garbage. The interface, along with processing, is horrible.
Google Chrome is a nice browser. I like to use it, but it occupies SO MANY RESOURCES. It is crazy. If I want to run Google Chrome, then I can't run anything else, otherwise my computer runs out of memory and Chrome crashes.

Firefox, on the other hand, is the perfect middle. It has nice use interface, and uses enough resources to return high performance, but not so many that I can't do anything else.

Google Chrome may be occupying more resources but it is working best for me. I wonder why you are facing those Chrome crashes and out of memory problems as I never faced anything like that. There may be some problem or something. You can try to reinstalling Chrome on your system. 

Yes Firefox is good in all the way. But Google Chrome is bit faster for me for all my work.

That's very strange, IIRC Firefox only asks you after the installation process is over, if you want to make it the default browser, nothing more, and as others have said, the only reason why Firefox would behave like that is because you programmed it to run at startup or maybe some kind of malicious program has programmed to open it at start. You should run an antivirus like MalwareBytes and check to be sure that you don't have some malware installed.
