It takes about 40 seconds to start when I click it. IE starts instantly. So there is no doubt this is a bug with Firefox 4. I've tried everything so far. Turned off hardware acceleration, turned off extensions, personas, made a new personal profile etc etc.... NOTHING WORKS. THIS IS A BUG. WE NEW AN UPDATE MOZILLA! I never experienced this problem with firefox 3.5 This just sucks.

Hopefully an update is released ASAP or I will jump to Opera/Chrome. Cant have a browser thats slower than Netcape 1.0 in 1995.

As you can see in my above post, ive already tried that.

Anyway there should be no need for us user to waste time and effort to deal with this problem.

Mozilla! Give us an update!

Maybe something in this article will help: Firefox takes a long time to start up

You can also look through this (14-page) thread:
