I’m not to sure about Windows, but i know in the OS X version of FireFox there is a long delay when you start it up for the first time.
Do any of you know of a fix for this long pause? It can be pretty annoying esp. if you are just looking to see a page really fast, and its the first time you are booting up the browser (once it has been opened on that uptime, its fine).
If there is a fix let me know - if not then i just have to hope 1.0 fixes it!
