I was never able to clear my downloads history (I guess there is a bug for this
already). So the downloads.rdf grew to be quite big. Now I decided to edit it
manually and remove all items. Bingo: startup time is reduced to normal proportions!

I also recently got Firefox from a mozilla tarball which I installed entirely in
home/userid.
Strikingly, this one remains faster than the Firefox installed from rpm!

Closing.

Firefox is supposed to be lighter and faster than Mozilla; but it isn't:

I compared various browser from the moment of pressing the menu entry until the
startup page is displayed (for each browser this is the same local file):

Dillo          (from current Cooker rpm)           4 sec	
Galeon       (from current Cooker rpm)        10 sec
Firebird      (from mozilla tarball in ~/)         13 sec
Epiphany    (from current Cooker rpm)        18 sec
Mozilla       (from current Cooker rpm)        18-20 sec
Firefox       (from current Cooker rpm)         35-39 sec
Konqueror  (from current Cooker rpm)         40 sec

all were timed on several occasions under equal circumstances on a PII running
IceWM, which proves Firefox takes twice as long to start as Mozilla & Epiphany
and 3 times as long as Galeon and Firebird. This is not the efficiency that is
claimed on the Mozilla-Firefox website. Could anything be done to improve this?
Thanks
