With the stabillity and speed of mozilla I do not think that the splash screen is needed anymore. It is more of a annoyens than a help. More over it also make mozilla seem "old". No new apps uses splash screens anymore. And the current splash screen is not pretty or informative in anyway. We should be able to turn it off in preferences, so it only will show up on first lauch of mozilla.

The -nosplash command line option manually disables the splash screen.
i suggest marking this invalid mozilla -nosplash works for me on windows. there is already a bug to make the splash screen more informative.
erm, right => law

I concur with timeless. The splash screen is a dead snake. There was a bug that prompted us to add it and in that bug it was successfully argued that we had to have it. If you disagree...well, you lost that argument. "-nosplash" is there for those who have objections.

Ok. I lost the argument. But why not add the -nosplash option to preferences. Many do not known about the -nosplash command option, and where should the "normal" user find out about that. I for one did not know about it before I heard it here. If it was in preferences everyone would have a change to disable it.
vrfy invalid. there's another bug for --help working in the general case. again, this is not worthy of a preference. you can always add -nosplash to your shortcut.

It doesn't work adding a "-no splash" pref, per se, because then we wouldn't know whether to show the splash screen till very long after it would do any good to show it. We *could* store that particular pref elsewhere, but I don't have the time to do that, and it just isn't worth the time or trouble.

IMHO, the -nosplash command line option is not enough. You have to add this option on every shortcut. And if you click on an external URL, double click and .html file on Windows Explorer, or another application opens an html file, the splash screen still appears. I tried to modify the registry settings in orther to add "-nosplash" on every invocation to mozilla, but as soon I opened Mozilla a message saying "Mozilla is not the default browser" appeared and restored the original registry settings. The best solution would be to add a global way to disable splash screen. (Perhaps an empty/invalid bitmap on Mozilla Dir?) Please reopen.
