nsane.forums Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 In recent days, an increasing number of users have been complaining of slow start up times for Firefox 3.5, while others don't have a problem. It now appears that the cause has been found and the developers are working on a solution.On some systems, it takes thirty seconds or more to display the Firefox window. Frans Bouma examined the system and found that, at start up, Firefox initialises the random number generators of the Network Security Services. It does this by reading files from some "random" sources. On Windows, this includes the Internet Explorer cache and the Windows folder for temporary files. As both can often contain a large number of files, this process can actually take a long time. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jota.Ce Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I saw this on a highly saturated laptop, and it taook more than 1min to open Firefox.I thought it sucked... but maybe deleting some shit it works ok.Lame error if they need to check every temp/cache file just to generate a stupid random number that can be generated with a million ways.

shought Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 It took around 10-15 seconds on my laptop, which I did consider a long time, especially when it's Firefox :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
