A while ago, I was discussing the startup time of Firefox with a few friends and it became apparent that we got very different results: For me, a Firefox cold start took between 0.3 and 0.7 seconds, compared to about 4 seconds for everybody else. All of us had a bunch of Addons installed (12 in my case), so it wasn’t exactly the amount of Addons that was causing it.<\/p>\n
After some experimenting we found that in every single case the launch time got down to below one second if FlashGot (which I had deactivated for some reason that I can’t even remember) was disabled.<\/p>\n
That doesn’t make FlashGot a bad addon, but you should be aware that startup time increases dramatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
