I just don't like the fact that firefox has this problem sometimes where it eats up ram and I have to wait a min or so for it to full initialize. My comp acts the same way with java apps and applets.Hum you should search around for some mirrors.. and i also like to use there http server for downloads just go to http://ftp.mozilla.org/ and browse to the releases.. But for some info about the slow to iniitalize.. if you leave something in the background for a little while.. Windows will automaticlly swap it out to disk cache to free up some RAM.. but the problem with this is when you bring it back.. it takes a little bit for it to move back into RAM so you can use this.. (And just FYI IE also suffers from this also since its windows causing it) but another thing you can do is this.. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/t...h_memcache
you can alter it so it doesn't use as much memory with its cache.. with will make the other problem less significant.
