      As I said User-Agent switcher for Firefox gets rid of the 5 second wait before the site loads.

        Yes, and my question was: using the user-agent switcher, which user agent do you switch to in order to get rid of the 5 second wait before the site loads?

          Just select Chrome. Google uses the delay specifically on Firefox. I only enable it for Youtube and Gmail URLs because it can mess with other websites.
