Ubuntu Mate - Auto Launch

Trying to get Firefox to load up when my Raspberry Pi boots up (with auto login), but can't seem to work it out.

Is that like eating in your car?

Using the GUI :

Go to Control Center > Startup Aplications Preferences > Add

Using CLI:
From you current user home, create the following file and add the following with your editor of choice.

vim .config/autostart/firefox.desktop

File contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Firefox
Exec=/usr/bin/firefox
Comment="Optional"
X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=true

@Romo I tried the GUI method before posting here but when the Pi reboots all it says is Firefox is already running. Will try the CLI method tomorrow when i'm back in
