okay, i'm gonna do a mini-hijack and ask why my firefox is so damn slow? i downloaded it and started using it for a while because everyone here constantly raves about it, but i *hate* the fact that it takes 4 times as long as IE to open. are there some settings i should change or something?

What you're experiencing is Microsoft's ability to leverage the Windows OS. Since IE is so tightly integrated into the OS, it's in memory constantly. Hence it opens very quickly.

You're stuck.
