    Interesting...

    I have always been a Firefox user. But I've lately realized that Firefox 3.5 is slower at startup than Chrome...

    With Chrome, I can save a few seconds at startup. Certainly, there is no difference during surfing, and I still prefer the feel and addons of Firefox...

    Has anyone else noticed that Firefox 3.5 is considerably slower to load than Firefox 3.0.11 or Google Chrome?

    I'm glad I'm not so busy that a few seconds of my day causes such consternation.

    Just go to Google and download it .Although Chrome is must faster than Firefox but plug ins of Firefox are much better.

    You can't do that in most government offices, and many corporate ones either.

    The problem's been fixed. I'm glad... :D

    No wonder, we all love and admire firefox so much! Ever since FF came my way, there is no looking back to any other browser...ever! :)

    Jim Finkle sounds like a trouble maker to me. Next he'll be suggesting OpenOffice as an alternative to spending thousands of tax payer dollars on Word/Office.

    I was impressed with Chromes speed but the plugins kinda sucked. Firefox for me!
