My idea is to integrate a preloader for firefox by using a switch e.g. "firefox.exe –preload".
By using this function firefox will be started but no chrome (windows) will be shown.
FF will be only started in the memory. its like the same when I started FF close it and start it again, then FF started much faster.
So I can invoke the "firefox.exe –preload" function by starting my OS (WIN32) in my autostart procedure.
Thanks for programming Firefox,
Andreas

This was called turbo mode.

Note that there will be a --enable-faststart compile option (see bug 503483) soon, but that doesn't mean that regular Firefox will ever use it. Maybe only on WinCE.
The old Turbo option was a *bad* idea from the 90's.
