Speeding up Firefox loading

Firefox/WinXP tip:

From Curmudgeonly & Skeptical:

I found the following on the net and it really helps.

Firefox is slow to load initially on Windows XP. You can speed this up a bit by using XP’s built in prefetcher. Simply right-click on the Firefox icon you use to start the browser. Add the text /Prefetch:1 to the end of the line in the target field.

The whole line should look something like the following:
“C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe” /Prefetch:1

In other words…right click your Firefox icon and open “properties” the add the text above to the end of the line in the target field.

Does it work? Hell yes it works, and I added it to slow loaders like Paint Shop Pro, and Media Center (my television) and HFS! Suddenly, life is worth living again!

You've got to have a space in there:
“C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe” /Prefetch:1
