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.
