Firefoxs took 2 minutes on the first start.
Hi,
I am using Firefox Version 122 on Windows 11. For the past month Firefox is slow to start on its first start. It took 2 to 2 1/2 minutes to load up. I have tried ways to fix it but not working. I tried using Google Chrome to test the speed and on the first start and it takes 5 seconds to load up. Therefore, it is not my computer problems. Please help.
Thank You

Gigabytes of cache can impact startup time a lot. You can start from going to menu -> Settings -> Privacy & security -> Cookies & site data. Click the Clear data... and clear cache and cookies.
Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile. Make sure you stay signed out of your sync account when testing.
Don't forget about clearing the startup cache. see screenshot
