GTK apps are loading very slowly after the last update

After my last update gtk apps are loading very slow. In particular the update software app and Firefox. I am not experiencing this with kde apps such as qutebrowser. Any advice on this?

Many applications (firefox, thunderbird, etc) slow to start on desktops other than Gnome

There is a bug with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (more details here ).

Workaround for gtk-based desktops (including Xfce)

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Workaround for KDE

sudo pacman -Rdd xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
sudo pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal-kde

Workaround for Lxqt
