Hi how can i start firefox in fullscreen mode at o.s. startup ?
I try to search gnome-startup-applications , it is installed but if i try to launch it on terminal i have command not found.
Did you install it as a Flatpak?
If so, the terminal command is
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
To start it at full screen, you can change the Exec line in the .desktop file (Flatpak) to
Exec=flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox --start-fullscreen
Are you looking for it to start automatically at boot?
If so, you can add a systemd service to start it at full screen at boot:
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
sudo nano ~/.config/systemd/user/firefox.service
Paste in the following:
[Unit]
Description=Launch Firefox at startup
After=graphical.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox --start-fullscreen
Restart=always
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Save and reboot to test.
If Not using Flatpak, but instead using the standard stable APT package:
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
sudo nano ~/.config/autostart/firefox.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Firefox
Exec=firefox --start-fullscreen
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Save and reboot to test...

Welcome to the Forum!
You can search for it in the Search Bar of the Zorin Start Menu or You go to the App Grid (press fast 2 Times the Super Key (Windows Key) and look there for the Program Icon.
@pippuccio76, I think you want to launch Applicazioni d'avvio, which in System Monitor appears as gnome-session-properties (enter it on the terminal to launch the program). @Aravisian, I'd bet he uses the preinstalled flat version. flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox --start-fullscreen should work in GNOME Session Properties, but if not at full screen there's a small extension that I have which does this, AutoFullscreen. @Ponce-De-Leon, pippuccio76 wants that Firefox opens at full screen when the OS has loaded. Also, this request fits General Help 
.

Yes, I understand that. But he or she wrotes:
So, for me it seems that the Start Programs Program doesn't run over the Terminal. That was the Reason for my Comment.

The command is correct. It may be the flatpak package it's wrong with.
NOTE: This wrapper (flatpak) is not verified by, affiliated with, or supported by AnyDesk.
Try the .deb package instead: Remote Desktop Software for Ubuntu and Linux | AnyDesk

Type in the Terminal flatpak list to list all installed Flatpaks. And there look for the exact Name for AnyDesk.
I don't see the complete name , this is what i see :
AnyD… …anydesk.Anydesk 6.4.0 stable flathub system
Hmm ... Okay, then I would suggest to take a Look at @Storm's Comment and try it with the .deb Version.
When you see truncated output like that, maximize the terminal window and run the command again.
You could try re-installing it but I'd also recommend going with the Debian package format option.
Following the link provided above, click on "Debian / Ubuntu / Mint (64 Bit)"; when the download completes, navigate to the downloads folder and double click on the file (it should have a .deb extension) to install it.
