Hi Erik,
What version of Windows are you running? Is Windows 7 x86 or x64? Is Firefox x86 or x64? Running Firefox 54.0.1 x64 on Windows 8.1 x64 and Automate 9.0.5 always starts Firefox minimized.

Hi ErikLundstrom,
The current builds of Firefox ignore the Windows start settings. To have Firefox opened minimized, you would need install a Firefox addon, such as "Minimize On Start And Close" to have that ability with Firefox. Please be advised, that these are global settings for Firefox and will impact any newly opened Firefox window.

What I really wanted to do was to run it Hidden, but that also doesn’t work (and cannot be accomplished by "Minimize On Start and Close").

Hi ErikLundstrom,
Unfortunately I was not able to discover a specific version of Firefox that supports the Windows launch minimized system command. However in my research, this does appear to have been the case for a number of years.
