Domoticz opens firefox at startup

Hi, I'm new on domoticz and I installed it on my Windows 10 (as an app not service if that can help).
When I start my computer now, firefox (default nav) starts too on the domoticz page plus makes freeze firefox and I have to kill it in the task mgr.
I couldn't find in the parameters where I can disable that behaviour. An idea?
Thanks

This is not a domoticz thing but a browser/OS issue.

if you had run `domoticz /?` you would have found there is a command line switch to disable automatic browser startup.

Before I installed domoticz my browser didn't start when my computer turn on, so it's directly linked to domoticz (plus my default web page isn't domoticz)

Where can I run such a command on windows? This is not a recognised command, maybve I need to add a varaible path but I don't know which one.
Ok so I find out how to do so on Windows :
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
Edit the properties and add in target :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Domoticz\domoticz.exe" -startupdelay 10 -www 8080 -sslwww 443 -nobrowser
(found the option on this thread :

You would have to run that previously mentioned command in the scary black screen that only (very) old people know how to work with

If you are talking about windows cmd I of course did try it. I get in the right folder but when I run "domoticz /?" nothing is displayed and domotic just start as usual. If you are talking about another console specific to domoticz I don't know where I can find that (I can only show/hide display console but cannot type anything in it)

That's not what you posted before. You said it was `not a recognised command`
In any case, the `/?` should have given you the help screen on Windows. If it didn't I don't know why. Alternate parameters for displaying the help screen are `-h` or `--help`

Yeah, not a recognised command, but how would I have this information if I didn't tried this in a console? :/
For more details, if I open cmd in windows and type only "domoticz" with any command (/? -h -help etc.) I got this :
C:\Users\Skwi>domoticz /?
'domoticz' n’est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne
ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.
If i go in the folder where domoticz is installed if domoticz is off it just turns on without any information in cmd (even with /?)
If it's on I got : Another instance of Domoticz is already running!
It's probably a windows issue for not getting the help with this cmd, I need to install domoticz on my rpi anyway.

All I can say is that it should display the help and finish. If it doesn't I don't know why. Also, the nobrowser option is Windows only so you will not see that when running it on a Pi or other Linux machine.
