You can check it via Tweaks. There is "Startup Application" sidebar there. You can also check if there are any .desktop file in either ~/.config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart directory. Cheers!

heres how i do it
make a file called startup.desktop in ~/.config/autostart

make startup.desktop look something like

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/PATH/TO/startupscript.sh
Icon=
Name=startupscript.sh
Path=
Terminal=False
Type=Application

and then you need startupscript.sh somewhere, which must be executable and look something like

# !/bin/bash
firefox &
sleep 1s
thunderbird &
another_command &
sleep 5s
etc &

I cannot say which one is the best answer......I 'm too ignorant

Both are good answers. I tend to just use GNOME Tweaks to add applications to auto start. Simple but effective.
