You sure you left an explorer window open? I don't really mind where it opens either but it's a byproduct of me wanting my folder of currently-watching TV series open on boot.

Mine's also a clean install of RTM (en-GB) Pro. Literally installed it yesterday on the desktop.

Yes - definitely left an Explorer Windows open -- rebooted several times and double checked the setting was "ticked" just to make sure. No worries here though -- I rarely reboot and like most have said here in this thread -- it is just not that hard to click the desktop tile.

      As it would on any other tech website whether it be Windows, Apple, etc. I wouldn’t expect it any other way.
    • Mozilla shuts down even more Firefox services you might still be using

      By olympus1 · Posted

      Mozilla should shut down everything except the browser and the services they whitelabel (for example Firefox VPN from Mullvad). Everything else just cost them money and have never returned any revenue. Focusing in the browser is what makes sense considering what is going to change regarding their income sources. About Firefox and chromium... if they ever have to abandon Gecko because of financial issues it is more likely to use Apple's WebKit and not Chromium and Blink. WebKit is more versatile for Firefox because it will allow them even to keep Firefox's extension ecosystem. The same way GNOME Web which is a WebKit browser has experimental Firefox extension support.

      I really dont like how they’ve put shadows under window elements making the sidebar and toolbar buttons look like they sit above the window itself. Looks very odd and clunky.
