It would be really nice if there was either a pref or a command line switch to disable the splash screen. They aren't too helpful when you are trying to multitask and they eat up valuable screen realestate.
Moving to XP Utilities where bug #6391 "[FEATURE] Windows Splash screen" resides.

I just found out that there already is a switch for this: mozilla.exe -quiet (Thanks to Ben Goodger) Is there any way to get a list of command line options?
There is a paramater for seeing most command line paramaters -help as in mozilla -help I don't have the 2/5/00 build win32 build, but the roumor is -help may not be working or -quiet may not be listed in the help screen. FYI, I have got bug 23501 open requesting they accept "/" not just "-" and they also accept -? and /? like DOS

-help doesn't do anything. It runs mozilla and then exits.
Marshall, i just posted a bug on -help not working bug 26761

I put in support for "-quiet" so I'm marking this fixed. Note that it works for Windows only (the Mac doesn't really have command line switches anyway). The other issues seem to have separate bugs.

How do you disable the splash screen natively? Adding the -nosplash command to every shortcut is not very pratical. Furthermore, if you open a html file (when mozilla is closed) which loads up mozilla, you still see the splash screen.
