Hi

Upgraded to FF3 last week but find that it takes just under 2 minutes to
open! Is this normal or is thee a setting I can tweak to speed it up?

Thanks

Louis

I installed a few days ago a clean copy, not over the top of 2.0.0.14,
and started with about 8 seconds to start the program, now with 30
extensions it takes about 30 seconds -- not certain which are the
culprits -- when there were 10, it still only took 10 seconds.

Thanks Miles. I will try with all extensions disabled if that is
possible. If it still takes ages to load maybe something wrong with my
set-up.
Off to give it a try now.

Cheers

Also try clearing your cache.

Tried cleaning the cache as well but no joy! Could be the computer
itself? Doubt it though as other programs open fairly quickly.

If you've got a significant number of RSS feeds / 'Live Bookmarks':

It's a known bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329534

The only approach at present seems to

- cut down on your number of RSS feeds
or
- go to about:config and (quote from "Q)

"You can change the RSS update interval by setting
browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds
 to the number of seconds
(integer value) between updates.  They will still all update at once,
just not as often.  The pref doesn't exist by default, and they are
updated every 3600 seconds (1 hour) by default."

I added the entry, set the integer at 1,000 hours and basically
stopped using the "Live Bookmarks"

This approach seems to successfully prevent the issue
from bothering you too much,
although there is no real solution for the RSS loading/ start up issue at present.

And you will obviously lose RSS update functionality.

I use infoRSS, and have no problems with them.

Thanks Steven. Only I don't use RSS feeds not Live Bookmarks. Dont even
know what the latter is!
Do have about 10 extensions. Maybe that's the problem???
