Even if it took 0.1 seconds for Chrome to start up, and 1 minute for Firefox to start up, I'd still use Firefox... I don't get why people care about start up times. I start Firefox up at the beginning of the day when I turn my machine on, and that's it.

This always puzzles me too. I start firefox maybe twice a week across 2 or 3 machines, then just let it run until an OS update requires a reboot (or in some cases when it's using > 1.5G of memory which is rare and may stop once I upgrade to ff15).
