Both FF and IE are present on my laptop. I never use IE for browsing, but some websites open it for special purposes (BT for example in their Broadband help mode). I have wireless BB. At startup both FF and OE take forever to load. I seems independent of time of day or BB up/download speed, which BB is sometimes as slow as 0.5 meg and never exceeds 4.5. Uniblue Registry cleaner also sometimes freezes everything.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
