Ho can I disable the "Open Firefox after each OS restart. Now you can configure Firefox to open automatically on restarting your device." banner that appears after updating to the latest Firefox ESR (128.*) and on first startup of Fifrefox?

browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt for the prompt browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.enabled for the feature.

You can use the preference policy to set it:

@mkaply Thank you so much. I try this tomorrow.

@mkaply Only for clarification ...

browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt for the prompt

Setting this to true prevents the banner from opening.

browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.enabled for the feature.

Setting this to true does nothing. Setting this to false tells FF that this feature is not available/supported and hides it from the ui. And this entry does not affect the setting in preferences so I can not enable this feature by this preference?

Do you want to enable the feature?

No I don't like to enable it. But I saw that browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.enabled does not enable/disable (on/off) the feature. Instead it hides the feature from settings ui. So I imagine that there is a different preference for enabling/disabling (on/off) or it depends on something inside Windows Registry.

Yeah, there is no pref to control the feature. It's done in the registry from what I can tell.
