Hello How do I get programs like firefox to start automatically when I boot up the computer?I tried using .kde/Autostart folder. I don't know if it's the right one. Thanks

Hi

Yes it is the right one
Create a new application pointing to firefox and copy the resulting file into .kde/Autostart

Cheers
