Damn, what are you using, WinME?
Comment on Firefox Got Faster for Real Users in 2023

Rendering was never a problem with FF, but it’s good to see some progress on that front as well. Startup times are still atrocious. My whole OS can book 4 times over before Firefox decides it’s the right time to start rendering something.

Nope, Debian Testing on machine with 12 cores and 32GB of RAM and 3GB/s M.2 drive.

Sounds like you have a borked dbus or is using the GTK_USE_PORTAL env variable, 20 second timeouts are gtks standard way of dealing with something it doesn’t like. Firefox should take < 1 second to start fresh and takes < 3s for me, restoring hundreds of tabs

Hm, interesting idea. Any suggestion how I can check/reset this?

Opens just as quickly as any other program for me.
Either your boot time is like 0.05 seconds or you have a problem.
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I for sure have a problem. But it basically boils down to remove your profile, which is not an option. I did report the issue number of times and always got “do a refresh”, which I always do and it always doesn’t help. Even made a video for them, since it doesn’t sound believable. This is on my X1 Carbon, which has M.2 drive.

So suffering through atrocious load times every day is more palatable than just setting up a new profile?
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s not every day. My computer doesn’t get rebooted that often, maybe once in a month or two. So I got use to waiting that one time. But in general yes, I don’t want another profile as this one is synchronized with other devices and has all kinds of things I’d have to redo to fix an issue that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Have you tried to start it from the terminal? Maybe there is some insight into which part of the startup process is taking so much time
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
When I was trying to solve this issue I tried pretty much everything. It boils down to something related to my profile. Start without one or with a different one, it works as expected. The moment I sync my profile it bogs down. And am not sure what is wrong with my profile. I have a lot of bookmarks but not abnormally so. History is configured as with everyone else, no special config there.

Then something is fishy with your install. Maybe something to do with the DNS or the Firefox version you’re using, or maybe just Debian.
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
DNS is not to blame here since Chrome and other applications work perfectly fine. Firefox in question is Developer Edition, so it’s bleeding edge new. And it’s not Debian because everything works fine until I sync my profile, then things slow down.

That’s wack. I’ve never seen Firefox that take long to open. Here’s a video of it opening in a VM running Ubuntu 22.04: streamable.com/aqkftv

I know, mine starts like that on second start. First one always takes a while. After upgrade to SSH and M.2 it is faster but still not immediate like yours. And it’s not even a slow and outdated machine.

Sure it’s not a total beast, but still 12 cores and 32GB of RAM with decently fast SSD.
