Are you typing in /prefetch:1 onto the Location of the Shortcut (like you should) or are you going into the actual folder and selcting Firefox.exe and right clicking to get to Properties??? Just make a shortcut of Firefox.exe and put it where you want it and then right click it, select properties and then add the /prefetch:1 to the target Line. If you try on the actual exe file you will get errors. Anyway, the actual exe file (so you can make a shortcut) is usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe .

Have you considered Camino? It uses the same rendering engine as Firefox, but uses a user interface based on the native MacOS widget set (rather than a cross platform API). But it reportedly isn't as stable as Firefox, nor is it updated as quickly... so, if for some reason you don't want it (which is the case with many people - it's almost a religious war ), you may want to look for optimized builds. What type of processor are you running? A quick Google found these builds for the PowerPC 7450 and 7400 and these for the G5. You should be able to get others by Googling for optimizations for your specific processor (I just searched for "MacOS X optimized Firefox"), or by looking around the Third Party Builds forum.

Based on the fact that I've been discussing Firefox on IW I've installed the release version (I had quite a bit of time on prerelease version).
So far it is fast and stable, takes about 5 seconds to load on my Athlon XP 2400 (and I didn't muck around with any load settings). While I'll argue all day with the "evangelists" (those who proclaim their hate for M$ from the highest mountain), it's more for fun than any sense of loyalty to M$ (Predators rarely have a lot of friends [img]smile.gif[/img] ), if Firefox release proves worthy it will replace IE as my browser of choice in a heartbeat.
