How many bounces does it take for your Firefox to load?

[mysterui]

about 7-8 for me...

 

[bartelby]

None. I've turned the animation off.

Wow! I would switch - The best IMO is Safari 3 with Inquisitor and Stand

Or Camino, which is a mac-only Mozilla project

You really shouldn't have to wait that long for a browser...

 

[bobpensik]

After a restart it takes about 3-4.

After it has loaded once, it takes only 1 bounce.

3 bounces on MBPro 2.16

Did not know about Camino, great info, going to try it now.

ya, its a nice program, thats what I use.

Mine takes about 2.

I would love to use Safari, IMO it's a much better browser. I just can't live without my AdBlock Plus.

Usually 2 bounces on my MBP SR 2.2GHz

Does take a few bounces to load though.

 

[SuperSnake2012]

On my 2.0GHz Macbook CD with 2GB of RAM it took 6 bounces. Camino is a lot better than Firefox though. I recommend it.

3 for me.

After a reboot (which is rare) I find that Firefox will sometimes take anywhere from 5 ~ 10 bounces to start, which is an incredibly long time. I'm not sure what's going on when that happens, but after that initial launch, any subsequent launches take maybe 1 or 2 bounces; but most of the time it seems instantaneous.

 

[nightelf]

First time: 4 bouces, 1 bounce after that.

How do you find these bounces out?

 

[xxlordgold]

Watch the dock icon for Firefox and count how many times it bounces before it opens...

 

[TheMotif]

When I've first started up, it takes about six to nine bounces. After that, it really doesn't bounce at all.

 

[BioChron]

It takes 1-2 bounces on my 1.83 CD MB, with 2 GB of RAM.

This answer sucks for you but: I use opera.

 

[Father Jack]

Two bounces here ..

3 on an Athlon64 3000+ with 1.5GB 333MHz single channel DDR loaded with a few apps

... a friend told me.. (camino, not firefox)

 

[Paul3144]

It took 4 on a MacBook.

 

[Adamo]

4 on a new MBP, but with time for a few more after it stopped (before Firefox loaded).

1 after it has already loaded.
