Increasing startup speed

If startup is slow, these solutions may help.

• Defragment your hard drive (accessed in Windows as "Disk Defragmenter", found in "All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools" in the Start Menu)
• Clear your cache, cookies, and history in Firefox by pressing "Ctrl+Shift+Del" and check the applicable options, or in the Mozilla Suite preferences (under "Advanced -> Cache" and "Privacy & Security -> Cookies -> Cookie Manager").
• Clean out your bookmarks.
• If the other solutions fail, the standard diagnostic may be able to fix the problem.

Quick Launch:

• On Windows: A third-party utility called Firefox Preloader is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffpreloader/. It performs in much the same way as the former Mozilla Quick Launch feature, but directly provides more configuration options such as loading at system startup.
