Is there a guide to make the transition from Firefox back to Mozilla
Suite easy? Mozilla Help has info for IE users, but not so far as I
can see, for Firefox users.

I've gotten tired of waiting up to a minute for the first URL to load
(having nothing to do with the site I am trying to load) when I use
Firefox (1.0.4) and wanted to see if this problem exists in
Mozilla...and if it does not, stick with Mozilla. Also since I do use
Composer, the all-in-one suite has an advantage.

TIA Jim

I can't help you with the first part, but there is a stand-alone version
of the composer, although it is no longer developed by the Mozilla
foundation, but by another firm, although they want to remerge it with
the Moz cvs. Look for Nvu.

Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode (extensions and themes will be
disabled) and seeing whether the URL loads faster. Look for the Firefox
(Safe Mode) shortcut on Windows' Start menu..

I'll give that a try. But I forgot to mention that the slow startup
problem is intermittent, I can't tie it to anything else going on and
in particular I always wait until all the startup disk activity has
ended before starting Firefox.

Since this issue is intermittent have you considered that your ISP may
be experiencing problems which would slow down loading?

It's intermittent but it only occurs on the first URL loaded after
starting Firefox so it would have to be an amazing coincidence. I
have a 4meg cable connection. Occasionally a page might take 2 or 3
seconds that normally loads in 1 second but as I think I originally
noted, this takes much longer. I've waited it out recently and it's
been as much as 30-45 seconds.
