so you are saying "its not a bug if you never close the browser program" - why does opera / chrome load up just fine no matter how many times its opened and closed?
btw my desktop at work is rebooted only once a week, quitting/reopening programs of vastly greater complexity/memory footprint doesn't cause the same issue as with FF. Unfortunately, i d rather not have a browser window open all the time just cause i dont want to have to restart the process. Can you clarify if you are a FF dev, coz you sure are pretty defensive about what is obviously a massive bug
yea, like i mentioned, if opera had adblock + something like noscript to toggle javascript, i d dump FF.
You dont seem to care about load times, but why suffer through terrible load times esp when other browsers dont seem to have the same problem? Would you be as tolerant of this if it were an IE bug?
er...dont think so. I have ver 3.52 and it takes forever to startup. If only opera had the same sort of plugins (adblock, noscript) etc, i would dump ff. The firefox devs have gotten cocky of late, shame really since the only reason the browser has such a loyal following is because of the quality plugins and not due to anything innovative in the browser per se (usually ff just rips off opera, IE, safari etc).

when will they fix that random number generation issue that makes the program take 3 mins to launch? Firefox has been a POS lately because of it.
