Yes, FF opens MUCH more slowly for me.
I have been assuming that this is the difference in having your browser
integrated with the OS (IE) and having it as a stand-alone program (FF) but I
could be totally out in left field with that surmise.
Since I rarely shut FF down and consequently don't have to start it very often,
I really haven't looked into ways to enhance the start up. It is NOT machine
specific; I run both FF and IE6, both latest editions and both fully patched,
and it is the same on 3 different machines. They ARE all running Win XP Pro
SP2, and again, with all updates, so that is a commonality.
Open up Firefox and type 'about:config' into the address bar . You
should then get a page full of settings.
Find the setting browser.turbo.enabled and toggle it to true. Close and
reopen FF.
This is supposed to speed up the startup of FF.
