Firefox/Mozilla Quickstart


Is there a quickstart for Mozilla for linux?

If not how would one go about loading Mozilla/Firefox into RAM on bootup to allow faster launch times?

Why do you need it, is your system slow? You can always keep a mozilla window open in a virtual desktop if you don't find what you are looking for.

I have enough RAM in my system that I may as well load frequently used apps into it to speed up launch times.

Good suggestion about the Virtual Desktop, thanks

there is nothing really like that that i know of
accept just starting it once
firefox/mozilla is a gtk app so if you use gnome desktop
all is basically loaded already
unfortunately gkt/gnome offers no preloading app like kdeinit

you might want to look at a program called prelink
it alters the elf to reduce seek time for libraries and that can help
