Startup, part 1 at Vladimir Vukićević
glad someone's looking at this, but the sustained performance needs to be closely examined as well. FF (3.5, even) bogs down over longer sessions, even with tabs kept to a max of 10-20.

"After a bunch of work the last couple of days, I think we’re in a much better place with respect to notices & licenses for Firefox...Canonical/Ubuntu has worked with us on this a lot, and has been very helpful, as have the RedHat and Fedora teams."
