I would like to teach Firefox to startup fast with a non-clean profile.

  • Project Lead: sdwilsh
  • Dirty Profile Hunter: limi

Status

I have a dream. It's sorta like a plan.

Goals

  • Ensure that startup time for a "dirty" profile in a profile with no add-ons or plugins installed/enabled is no worse than 20% of a clean profile's startup time on windows.

Non Goals

  • Reduce startup time for a clean profile.
  • Fix this for every possible dirty profile.
  • Fix any startup issue caused by add-ons.

Timeline / Milestones

  • Establish a few reproducible "dirty" profiles with add-ons and plugins uninstalled or disabled (limi). ETA July 16.
  • Start profiling "dirty profiles" and come up with a plan. ETA August 15.


Requirements

  • A plan must be complete and work under way by the end of Q3 2010.

Dependencies

None at the moment.

Testing

Some performance benchmark will be created. Behavioral changes are covered by our automated test harness.

Anything related to startup time reduction has potential.
