From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If it is due to an inefficiency of Firefox it seems strange to me that no fork has solved the problem, other browsers like Brave work perfectly.
Flatpak Firefox and Chromium are very different. Note that Flatpak Firefox starts normally fast for me.
Use the native version, it is one of the best maintained software and has access to "user namespaces" for isolation.
Now search on the internet what that is XD
The only "Firefox" not presenting this start issue for me is Floorp but it's proprietary.
Is floorp proprietary ?
