Internet Explorer Security Issue (16th Dec 08 at 10:37am UTC) Important heads-up
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7784908.stm Quote: The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet experts say. Thought i'd give y'all a heads-up on this - i hardly use IE (unless its for de-bugging etc) but never can be too careful

-.- its true FF does take quite some time, mostly cuz of addons. Chrome seems decent and Opera has the fastest startup.

How many add ons do you have? because if you have ALLOT of add ons then it will take a long time. or unless you have a slow computer. or hardly RAM left.
