I included Eric's Message below: FC6 seems to come with lots of language extensions that many of my user don't need.

I wonder if the long-list of language extensions that are now included by default causes performance problems? try logging in as root and... cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.6/ mkdir save mv extensions/* save and see if the start time is better. To put the language extensions back: cd /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.6/ mv save/* extensions/ -Eric <div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ---- From: Dan Young <dyoung@mesd.k12.or.us> To: Support list for open source software in schools. <k12osn@redhat.com> Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 10:39:20 AM Subject: Re: [K12OSN] Firefox crashes <div>Michael Blinn wrote: > This box has 8GB RAM.
