Firefox startup times

[4AcesIII]

No matter how much you rebag, rename it, it's still Netscape. It doesn't matter how fast it starts it's still Netscape, it's open source or should I say confusionware 🙂 How long before Netfox starts whining about not getting a fair chance......sniff....sniff......

If I could, I'd beat the crap out of you for that statement.

THATS HORRIBLE 🙁

Sweet, someone still has a copy of that video clip 😎 Yeah, I'm not kidding when I say Celerons have no place in my fleet. VirusScan Enterprise has a fetish for .jar files (and .chm's, for the record), it really does peel them open and scan the guts. Which takes a while, as you can see.

If the stuff can stay cached in RAM, then relaunches are better... but you see why I'm not eager to ditch IE without reason. Maybe if we had a Win98/ME fleet where everyone's an Administrator, then I would fear having IE all over the place.

If I could, I'd beat the crap out of you for that statement.

And if you did, you might get shot through the lungs, too. I've got a tip for you personally, bersl2... you'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Sure, I could make negative comments about Dell computers all day long in General Hardware, but my newbie computer-building guide is what actually gets results. Likewise, you should do something positive to promote OSS, like publishing a useful guide that addresses a common task that newbie open-source users need help with.

litterally less than a second all the time. 3.2 intel, gig of ram, standard 7200rpm hd

About 3.25 seconds on a 4000/A64 and Seagate 7200.7 and fresh boot. Kaspersky suite AV/AH

 

[mechBgon]

You guys might want to post your security suites and whether the compressed-file scanning and heuristics are enabled, since that is proving to have a lot of bearing on launch times 🙂

Norton Internet Security. Opening FF is instant.

Internet speech has a completely different dynamic from face-to-face speech. It's a lot harder not to (threaten to) retaliate, especially when the trolling strays off-topic.
