Re: [libreoffice-users] New to Group, and so checking on Browser Plug-in

Hi :)
Maybe about 5mins for the full book.  On mine it took 15 seconds to reach the 
grey-out inside the tab and just under 30 seconds to display the Getting Started 
guide.  More than 10secs feels like "forever" of course.  


The wiki-page shows the approximate number of pages in each guide
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation
which might help you guess at roughly how long each might take.  

Just out of curiosity which version of java are you using?
Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Java
The 2.6.0_21 is the best with the _20 and _22 being good 2nd best and the more 
recent ones, such as _24 and _26, being completely hopeless.  I don't think java 
is the issue here.  I just don't know tbh.  


Are other things taking ages to start-up, such as YouTube videos and stuff?  How 
about other apps?  Does it take ages to open-up LibreOffice normally?  Is it 
faster 2nd time, after you close and re-open?  Have you cleared "private data" 
such as temp folders, history and stuff in FireFox?  Have you defragged you 
system lately?

Also, a little while ago, someone was asking about which plug-in to use to make 
it possible to view documents inside FireFox and i only knew how to do that in 
Gnu&Linux, not Windows.  In Firefox 

Tools - Add-ons - Plug-ins
do you also have "OpenOffice.org Plug in"?  I tried using that pop-up to do a 
search in FireFox add-ons to try to find the proper name of the plug-in but 
couldn't find it listed there.  Presumably it's an option given during install?  
Did you do a "Custom" install?  I was thinking that maybe it's one of the extra 
files in the download bundle?  Luckily i think the person only wanted to know 
for Gnu&Linux so we were able to help but it would be good to know for future 
reference.

How long is it taking to reach the grey-out stage?
God luck, thanks and regards from
Tom :)

IIRC this "feature" was introduced somewhere around the end of OOo v2
and start of v3 series.
