extensionsmirror.nl — Firefox was launching REALLY slow... (I timed it, 24.5 seconds!) and just recently I found this cool extension called Chrome Cleaner, installed it, restarted Firefox, ran it (go into the extension options, then click clean), and my start time was reduced to: 6 seconds!

aluminumpork ~I hate to break it to you, but your computers are dinosaurs. Athlon XP 1800+ = dinosaurP4 2.8 = dinosaur512 mb of ram = slow computerLooks like you need a new laptop, more RAM, and either a Pentium Dual core or Athlon X2 (Dual core). Your equipment is obsolete according to me.

"What are you all complaining about mine takes like 3 seconds to loads :|"Did that make sense to anyone else? Or am I going crazy?

So why don't all the mac users just add ram and never quit the program. I have it open 100% of the time then just open and close the windows. It's instant and doesn't have to load stuff all the time.Kinda one of the major features of the mac os's...just leave stuff open and you're good to go! Photoshop, Firefox, Mail, etc. just leave it open and then it's always at hand.

Gonna try it at home since FF is definitely a lot slower to start up compared to IE.

I've got an old crappy win2k machine (it came with ME, talk about embarrassing). This really helps, halfs my load time.
