Google Firefox Toolbar Out Of Beta 181
wellington map writes "Google has released Firefox search toolbar (Version 1.0.20050923) after two months in beta. One interesting addition is Google Suggest, which guesses what you're typing and offers useful suggestions in real time."

Also, try lowering your UID. 917138 is awfully high to be taken seriously by the editorial staff.

Firefox:
68, 69, 69, 72, 65
IE
81, 81, 75, 71, 75
Opera
93, 103, 103, 107, 103
All of these were timed by hand using a stopwatch, so the results aren't perfect. The units are 1/100s, and each test was opening a new browser window from the exectable (not from within the running application). My system is a P4 2.4 Mobile, 512, XP Pro. Each application was loaded 5 times untimed before being timed to make sure they were cached.
My firefox install is also the one with the most crap in it (15 extensions), with IE having the google toolbar, and Opera having nothing extra.
From this, I'd say that the performance in firefox is pretty awesome when it comes to startup times. (Or my IE is really slow)
