Hey Everyone,
I am using Firefox 96.0.2 under Manjaro Gnome and for some reason when I start the browser, it seems to take 30-45 seconds before it actually launches. This is way different than the 2-3 seconds it takes to launch Brave or Chrome browsers.
Firefox is something I use occasionally for testing, so it’s not my ‘main’ browser. But I just find it strange it taking almost 1 full minute to launch on my relatively updated Manjaro Laptop (Dell XPS 13 9350 i5 with 8GB of Ram and SSD).
