But, I feel more comfortable in using Firebug than any other web inspectors. It doesn't mean that the other web inspectors are not good. A developer at the other end of the world may prefer Dragonfly than Firebug. It's all just the personal preferences. Thanks for your suggestion and Welcome to my blog. :) Hi Philip,

I'll definitely try out the 'profile' work around that you have suggested for speeding up Firefox load time. I wish all the best for the Firefox 3.5 release! Waiting for it.

Glad you're looking forward to Firefox 3.5. As you said, what's in the RC is absolutely going to be in the release since the release candidate _will_ be the release if we don't find any problems with it. I'm curious about your slow start-up time. Firefox really should launch in just a couple seconds, even on several year old hardware. If you're waiting longer than 4 or 5 seconds, I think there's something corrupted in your Firefox profile and I'd recommend starting fresh with a new profile when you get Firefox 3.5. There are good instructions about creating a new profile here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles Once you've created a new profile, Firefox should start up very quickly. Then you can start to add back your extensions one at a time, testing start-up time with each new extension. Hopefully you will find the extension that was causing slow start up and you can avoid that one or find an update or a replacement. - A Hey Veerasundar. Glad you’re looking forward to Firefox 3.5.
