Ways to speed up Firefox 3.5 startup speed

Compared to Google Chrome and IE, in Windows environment, Firefox 3.5 starts very slowly. It is said that Firefox 3.5 crawls files from some temporary folders and is used to calculate random numbers. Therefore, Users can clear these temporary files to speed up Firefox startup.

Firefox 3.5 calls a lot of temporary files, including temporary directory, history directory and recent document directory. Firefox uses these temporary files to increase the randomness of random number calculation, but unexpectedly leads to the startup speed. Slow performance issues.

Firefox is developing a patch to solve this problem, but users can also handle it manually, which is to delete related temporary files.

The directory for temporary files includes:

C:\\Documents and Settings\\*user*\\Local Settings\\History
C:\\Documents and Settings\\*user*\\Local Settings\\ Temporary Internet Files
C:\\Documents and Settings\\*user*\\My Recent Documents
C:\\Documents and Settings\\*user*\\Temp\\

Users can also click "Programs" directly - "Accessories" - "System Tools" - "Disk Cleanup" to delete temporary files. (via)

After this operation, you can see that Firefox 3.5 seems to speed up, but compared with Google Chrome and IE, Firefox 3.5 is still the slowest, Google Chrome. The startup speed is very fast, but because there is no plug-in system, this is not particularly fair.
