I remember using Firefox in the pre 1.0 days.
It took slightly longer to launch than IE, but since it had tabs, I didn't care, because I wasn't opening a new instances constantly.
- Yoric 8y agoFwiw, IE was pre-launched with Windows. That was the secret behind its (often) fast startup. Not doing the same in Firefox was a conscious design decision by the Firefox team, which didn't want to hoard the memory when Firefox wasn't in use.
- Phrodo_00 8y agoYeah, seamonkey (and maybe opera) also had ways to start the browser with the os.
