To Leonidas: For once a serious question. Why did they remove the Quick
Launch, in either Browser? What is the benefit of doing so? :-\
Well, it only existed in Windows anyhow, and was a holdover from
Netscape days, when they were trying to get the browser to open up as
fast as IE.
The value of it was debatable. I remember playing around with it a long
time ago. While it did cause the initial opening of the program to
speed up, subsequent closings and reopening were the same whether
Quicklaunch was enabled or not.
The negative side was that part of Netscape/Mozilla Suite was open and
running at all times, taking up system resources for no good reason.
It also caused quite a bit of trouble for anyone who needed to do a
modification within their program files, such as a user.js mod, they
would forget that if Quick Launch was running, Netscape/Mozilla was not
really closed, thus negating their modification. I ended up just
suggesting that people disable Quick Launch and forget about it, since
it was more trouble then it was worth.
The only reason it was still in 1.1.x was that it was still based on the
very outdated code. With all the reports about how much faster SM 2.0
is loading for people, I would suspect there really is no need for it
anyway.
By the way, i don't know if you are on the newsgroup or the mailing
list, but every time you reply to me your reply shows in the group,
*and* I get a private email copy. This is unnecessary, and clogs up my
mailbox for no good purpose. Can you please not do that anymore?
