Takes TOO long to start-up
I attempted to "convert" quite a few friends & family to the firefox browser... they refuse to use it. Why? It takes too damn long to load up, just to browse. And if you preach about security.. they become deaf ear. The main reason is that nothing is secure anymore by just touching the Internet. [they say] If I need to quickly research Aunt Jennie's recipe for marshmellow cream pie... I don't want to sit seconds later for this firefox to come to the screen. Honestly! And I hate when news states they have 12 million downloads. SO WHAT! Because of the faulty start-up, out of that 12 million, perhaps 10 million reverted back to Explorer... think about!

I personally use firefox and only use explorer for updates... but if you are in a hurry to surf or research... it just feels clumsy to sit wait for a browser...
