1. Firefox loads slow because its always checking for updates for addons and such.

tools > options > advanced > update

there 3 check boxes, uncheck the last two. The first is fine, but can be unchecked too.


2.

ON your icon for Firefox, Desktop maybe, if you use

rightclick > properties > shortcut

Target :

add /Prefetch:1

so it will be something like

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1


Should speed up firefox startup time quite a bit.
