Re: Firefox and OS2

My beef is that it takes almost 20 seconds from the time I click the icon till it fully "up" on my monitor. When I run the same installation in Windows it loads in 7 seconds.

This must be a really old system (you didn't write anything about it).
On my Athlon64 3000+ it loads the first time in 3 seconds and the
following starts are done in less than 2 seconds. There is no big
difference to SeaMonkey in this regard.

If you have a JFS partition, put the Firefox binaries on it.
This should reduce the startup time significantly.

If you need the browser quite often, you could try to start
a hidden instance from the autostart folder (make a copy of the
browser start icon in the autostart folder and mark the window
hidden). Firefox will then just open a new window when you open
a document or click on the icon for the browser.
If you have less than 512MB RAM this might not be a good solution
as over time the firefox process allocates quite some memory from
the system.
