since IE is built into windows, it starts up much quicker than firefox, he wanted a way to preload firefox to start up as quickly as IE

but all the popups
They both work decent...but Firefox just has a few things a bit better:- loading text before images (owned on dial-up, not so much on highspeed), and the tabbed browsing. That's pretty much all I use it for...
Now of course there are the billion plugins, such as calendars and everything else, that you'd never find in IE, for those who like that--and the other dozens of reasons I ignored...
JD:
They both have popup blockers--that both work 99% of the time for me (accurately, as well).
TheRecluse:
Just as you said! Yup, IE is precached in explorer.exe, which is why it loads so fast... but with this:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffpreloader/
program, firefox is just as fast, or faster now

Not too good of an idea to ask about your problems in another thread--for I don't have a clue what you're talking about without searching your posts...
The only thing I know is if your computer is older--or the motherboard is--at least three years, just go for a new one. That was my problem when my computer decided to start resetting...
Good luck all!
