Fwiw, IE was pre-launched with Windows. That was the secret behind its (often) fast startup.

Not doing the same in Firefox was a conscious design decision by the Firefox team, which didn't want to hoard the memory when Firefox wasn't in use.

Yeah, seamonkey (and maybe opera) also had ways to start the browser with the os.
