| I've been researching how to load firefox faster. So better follow this steps: 1. Go to the schortcut of firefox and click on it. 2.

adding the "/prefetch:#" to your command line just changes the hash number passed to your application...
according to the literature, winXP already prefetches anyhow, so this would have no significant gain in performance unless you ran firefox with differing plugins...
in other words, your firefox.exe is already being prefetched. if you specify a different number, it is merely going to a different file, and probably just taking up space in your prefetch cache...

Those who are using Firefox 2 or IE7 might be at a risk of loosing their login credentials to
various sites, if they're using the in-built Password Manager of either browsers. Apparently,
