I Googled on "firefox slow startup" and found loads of suggestions. One was to start in safe mode (firefox.exe -safe-mode) to see if you were being slowed down by something that was loading at startup. I have seen cases where a problem in a preference file would slow startup as the program tried to deal with the problem. Deleting the file(s) gets you back to the default settings. Even if you did not ever change the settings, you could have started with a bad file caused by some random glitch. Another thing to do is check system log files. Often you'll see a string of messages that can point you in the right direction. My FireFox has many extensions so these all have to load at startup. Even with all this I don't find the startup to be slow. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
