How to Improve Extension Startup Performance?<br>
</blockquote>
I think first we need to check on Thunderbird's startup performance.
I'm sure there's some things that we can delay until after start-up.
If there are then we may need extra hooks and things available to be
able to do this.<br>
<br>
Once we have those, then I think we'll be able to communicate the
experience to add-on authors as well, and push harder on it.<br>

If you mean for extensions specifically, then we have those already.
If you're specifically on about start-up times, then it'd be useful
to know where the Firefox pages are then we can look at providing
appropriate versions/alterations.<br>

How about having such an extension for TB3.1/3.3 (SM?) also?<br>

I've not been able to look at it yet, but I'd be surprised if that
couldn't be easily ported to 3.3. AFAIK all the back-end supporting
code went into core, although there may be one or two bits missing.<br>

iirc that page display an <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:startup">about:startup</a> page, this could easily be
done in the extension. I'm not sure Firefox do more than that, I'll
try and find out.<br>
