It goes like this for me: I want to google something, start up Firefox, then realize it will take long. So while Firefox is loading I start Links, type www.google.com, type the query, read the answer, close Links. Then Firefox pops up and I just kill it. Seriously. I can recommend using Links for general browsing and firing up Firefox only when Javascript or CSS is needed, if you are concerned about Firefox execution speed. Extra benefit: Links has an image autoscale feature which is perfect for viewing online pictures. You can also calibrate Links for your monitor gamma, aspect ratio and LCD optimization, and Links has a fast bilinear rescaler, so the result are much better pictures than Firefox.
