Firefox takes 30 seconds to start
Hi, mozilla firefox on an older linux machine takes about 30 seconds to start up.
- Computer: HPpavillon T3000
- CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2 GHZ
- RAM: 2 GB (4 x 512 MB) = Maximum
- GPU: GeForce 8600 GT
- SSD: 120 GB
- HDD: 250 GB
- OS: Suse Leap 42.2
I tried LXDE, LXQT and Plasma5 desktop on the same machine. The bootup time of firefox seems not to depend on the desktop installed on this machine. I run Version 54.0 of firefox. I use an empty startup page. There are no add-ons installed. I also tried firefox in save mode. I deleted the browser history.
Nothing helped to speed up the start of firefox. Google chrome-browser starts in less than 5 sec on the same computer ...
Is there a way to speed up the startup process of firefox on this machine?

I have accidentally found something interesting. I had forgotten to connect the network cable to the computer and then firefox startet quickly.
After that I looked more closely at the network settings. I disabled IPv6 support in the network settings. This solved my problem.
Now firefox takes less than 5 seconds to start up. I am happy.

Can you try using firefox with an empty profile. Create a directory say tmpprofile in /tmp and then in the terminal start firefox like this:
firefox --profile /tmp/tmpprofile --no-remote
and then see if the issue has been solved. The problem could be a big bookmark file or a password database.
This did not speed up significantly the startup process. But I got some error messages in the terminal window:
firefox --profile /tmp/tmpprofile --no-remote

Can you update firefox to the latest version and see if that helps. At this point I am not sure what could be the problem since the console messages are not out of the ordinary.
