preload works for what it is made.
It is not made to speed up firefox startup time. Firefox loads a bunch of sqlite files in your /home. This and other things might explain your slow startup time of firefox.
One of the ways to speed up firefox is to put your ~/.mozilla in a tmpfs (doing it the right way, else you loose your data). This have been discussed somewhere I think. How else ?
Please complain about Firefox for its slow startup time and not about preload for not speeding it up.
Try chromium if you want quick startup time ;-)
I can't leave firefox for it has my favorite addons :) I have chromium too, but I use it less often when I want to check mail, facebook, etc. - normally five minute tasks. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !
