That depends on how you configured everything to autostart. Firefox doesn't have an autostart feature so you probably added it to the list in XFCE and will need to do the same for Brave.
Ben, However Xfce4 is set was done many years ago.
Or, you use the "save session" feature which allows XFCE to remember every app you had open when you log out. Upon logging back in it will immediately re-launch those apps.
Yes, 'save session' is checked in Settings -> Session and startup. Brave is shown in Settings -> Preferred Applications -> Web browser. When I manually invoke Brave it tells me it wasn't properly shut down. I just use the Xfce4 panel's logout button which has worked with firefox as the open, default browser. It's curious that Brave doesn't shut down the same way and come back up when I startx. Regards, Rich
