It would be better than adding the -nosplash command to shortcuts (Windows). If you do not open mozilla using the modified shortcut, it doesn't work. Furthermore, the workaround is not for all OSes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open mozilla without quick launch.

There should be a -nosplash or -quiet argument that you can use on the commandline. (I'm on a Mac, so I can't verify what it really is). I'm duping against the old RFE (which only talks about -quiet). Reporter, reopen if you would really want this implemented as a preference. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 26693 ***

An attempt to keep anyone from reopening this one. See Bill Law's comment in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71295#c7 : "It doesn't work adding a "-no splash" pref, per se, because then we wouldn't know whether to show the splash screen till very long after it would do any good to show it. We *could* store that particular pref elsewhere, but I don't have the time to do that, and it just isn't worth the time or trouble."
