Would you mind listing how many themes/extensions you have and exactly how long FF takes to open from the moment you click open/run... ?

7 extensions (no heavy stuff like e.g. greasemonkey though)
2 themes

1 sec max, Firefox (2.0) is usually very responsive here. I heard FF3.0 is gonna be even better in that sense.

It probably doesn't help that everyone is downloading gigs of porn and listening to internet radio...

Oh, yeah, and I'm rendering over the network.

Kurt .... Thanks for posting, ... your office PC is what I needed ... Now I know its not the connection speed --- my slow startup is definitely system related.

I could be a mini-ISP .... or just be a downloading freak.

I actually wouldn't know what to do with all that bandwidth ---- DVD's ?? ....no time to watch 'em.

It's interesting to think just how profoundly that bandwidth alone has changed our lives .
For anyone who could possibly think it hasn't ... just think dial-up for EVERYONE (NL too ! ) ....talk about soliciting a revolution. lol.

Hmmm, ... how long to download 1.6.1? (without the plug-in) x a gazillion users ...

note: In the US the FCC passed a regulation limiting V90 dial-up connections to 53Kbps.

me happy for downloads
