Why does it take 7-42 minutes for Firefox 4 to open once I click the icon? (I have timed it, yes.)
I'm writing this on ie, which I HATE, because since I installed F4, it will not start up in a reasonable time. I did all the basic troubleshooting, uninstalled and re-installed it, checked the options, etc but nothing works. Everything elso on my computer works instantly, except F4. What's up with that and am I going to have to go back to using the hated ie all the time?

It sounds to me like the installation didn't perform correctly.
What I suggest you do is to go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it, but don't checkmark the option to remove your bookmarks, customizations etc.
Before you do that though, go to Download Firefox 4.0 and download a fresh installation file.
After you uninstall the existing installation, reboot.
It's also wise to disable your AV before installing again. If you've got AVG, this is particularly difficult because it doesn't have an Exit option. Instead, you have to open MSCONFIG and remove the checkmark from AVG Watchdog which disables everything. Any changes to MSCONFIG requires a reboot I regret to say.
