[Computershow2] Re: Firefox 3.5 slow startups on Windows

glad to see i'm not alone in this experience (wrote about my attempts recently). several minutes would be nice - i usually wait anywhere from 30-45 minutes. but still love the experience once i'm on board. please let the group know when the new version is available. think i'll uninstall 3.5 and give the "fixed" update a try. thanks for keeping us posted, karl.
