How to GREATLY reduce Mozilla FireFox start-up time.

[Flying Panda]

Hey everybody.So im guessing most of you use FireFox,and on average computer it takes 5-10 seconds to load.Well,there's a simple little trick to make it open in like 2 seconds maximum,even less.
Now,it's really simple.
Right click Mozilla Firefox icon on your desktop,and click properties.Go to Shortcut tab and find Target : C(optional):\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe''
Once You've found that,just add /Prefetch:1 on top of that,so it's looks like this:
Oh and remember to click apply before okay,and put space before /Prefetch:1
like blablabla*space*/Prefetch:1,cuz that's where people do wrong :p
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'' /Prefetch:1

Now,try opening another firefox.Yup,it's like 2 seconds M A X (I have it like half a second now ),Enjoy

It just reduces the start up time which can be annoying.

But HOW ?

It utilizes XP's prefetch ability and puts applications on hold while it loads
