I’ve used firefox for years and love it, but it takes forever to open when I first start the computer.

“I’ve used firefox for years and love it, but it takes forever to open when I first start the computer.”

Go in and disable practically all extensions and plugins that you did not install yourself. You’ll see a ton of Microcrap ones. Disable all of those. Basically, disable everything but java platform, mozilla default, and shockwave in plugins. Even disable adobe, as pdfs will still open automatically via external adobe reader.

Disable everything in extensions you didn’t install.

You’ll be amazed at how much faster it loads.
