I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I'm a new user of Mozilla  - can the splash screen be removed, and if it can, will it speed up the opening of Mozilla?
     

Starting with mozilla -nosplash suppresses the splash screen.
   

I've tried to change the line in the shortcut properties, adding
"-nosplash" to either the "Start in" and/or "Target" fields but I keep
getting an error message saying the target could not be found.
 

I suspect this is because the rest of the 'Target' contains a space, 
e.g. "C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\Mozilla.exe". When all that's 
in the target is a full file path, Windows doesn't mind the space, but 
when you add an option, it's gets all confused... (poor Windows :) ).

All you need to do (if this is the problem) is put double-quotes around 
what was in the target box before you added the -nosplash option, so, 
instead of

C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\Mozilla.exe -nosplash

you want to have

"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\Mozilla.exe" -nosplash

Also, in answer to your other question of startup speed, removing the 
splash screen doesn't (as far as I know) affect how quickly Mozilla 
starts up, it just distracts you while it takes ages... ;)

Hope that helps.
