After pressing ctrl+shift+F1 I go to the tty1 cmd line terminal.

But I am not able to open firefox or chromium browser by typing their name in cmd line terminal.How to open the browser from cmd line.?

Also in /media directory I am not able to automatically mount my C: D: E: drives. I need to click Places and then drive name to mount the drives.My C: D: E: are windows drives and need to automatically mount in ubuntu after starting?

CTRL + SHIFT + F1? And that works? Which Ubuntu version are you using? I would say a very old one.

Anyway: you should not type CTRL + SHIFT + F1. You should type ALT + F2, and then 'xterm' or 'gnome-terminal', and in that terminal 'firefox' and then ENTRE.

DISPLAY=:0 firefoxIt would still be displayed on the X server that is currently running, if there is any (ctrl+alt+F7)
