[gentoo-user] firefox quickstart

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi all,

For a while, I've been keeping a firefox window open and minimised on an
unused workspace, just because it considerably speeds up opening a new
firefox window.  Instead of waiting for a while, a new window will open
within a few seconds.

I guess I could just be impatient (ok, I _know_ I'm impatient :) but is
there a firefox "quickstart" similar to what I saw on windows once upon
a time?  Openoffice used to have one too (in windows) - a little tray
app that loaded ooffice into memory so that when you first used it, the
start up time was short.

TIA,

I don't know about firefox, but kde will keep some number of konq windows 
loaded in the background for windows/IE-like instant open.

Not AFAIK.  But pre-linking provided a nice reduction in startup times
for firefox.

For openoffice.org 1.x, there is oooqs and variants.  However it
doesn't work with the current OOo.  For that, here is my
~/.kde/Autostart/oooqs:

#!/bin/bash

rm -f ~/.openoffice.org2/.lock

while true; do
        t=`ooffice2 -nologo -nodefault 2>&1`
        if test "$t" != ""; then
                break
        fi
done

Actually, the latest stable x86 oooqs (2.0.3-r2) *requires* the 2.x line of 
OpenOffice.org.

There is a kind of what you're looking for here:

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=31014

It's in early development stages, but it works. It's based on the mozilla one.

Cheers!!
