Firefox takes a long time to start up and becomes unresponsive frequently. I have tried disabling extensions, clearing cache and cookies, but the problem still persists. What other troubleshooting steps can I try to resolve this issue?

Clear Recent History. You may be able to solve Firefox startup problems simply by clearing your browsing history, including the cache, cookies and browsing and download history. Old or corrupt preference files can cause conflicts with other files or the Firefox browser and cause the program to lag.
