I seriously hope that's fake. Are you using a 10 year old failing hard drive? You should reinstall the OS if it's this slow, unless it's a hardware problem. But Firefox shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to launch even on a shit 8 year-old PC (speaking from experience).

ssd but not a particularly fast one, have had around 1.5-2 seconds opening time on average for well over a year

>>57475522

some older addons (pre webextensions) severely affect firefox performance, adblock or its forks would add a solid second to startup time with ssds for instance

it's not that every extension that predates webextensions is bloated however, noscript for the most part has almost no performance hit compared to with it disabled so going from noscript to umatrix won't improve performance at all but going from adblock to ublock will remove a solid second from the startup time due to how bloated adblock is

a lot of the performance issues in firefox really come down to older 32-bit only builds for windows (64bit windows builds have been available for a couple of months now) and slow bloated addons rather than firefox itself

so it's definitely a case of op having an older bloated profile

>>57476532
>>57476656

glad you learned something, the people going from old bloated firefox profiles to brand new unused chrome profiles being amazed at chrome's speed are really dragging firefox's reputation into the dirt, firefox is objectively slower but it shouldn't be too noticeable on modern pc hardware

>>57477053
>>57477410

click advanced so we can see the cert error, as far as >>57477118 >>57477167 goes you need to go to firefox options then advanced then certificates but it's probably way over your head and you should reinstall firefox

That's your own fault for using an OS that quits applications when their windows are getting closed.

8 seconds until the window is actually usable
yes
>>
>>57477763

if you can, check the health report after creating the new profile then again every few addons

unfortunately some addons are ridiculous for it, as well as adblock (it genuinely may be better now but ublock origin is far superior) I've experienced a user agent swapper that was horrendous for boot times

it's a real pain in the ass finding a useful extension only to realise it makes the browser shit the bed

I get that at work, since they issue their own certs.
Firefox doesn't use the Windows Cert Store (there is a BETA option for it in Firefox 49, though), which is why that happens.

>>57478818
I also built a fresh system and everything. I guess that this might help with the low loading times.

>>57475259
all browsers are slow to start.

any that aren't are daemonized and running in the background.

Browsers are pretty much more complex than fucking operating systems. it's not all that surprising loading about 100+ MB of libs into memory is slow.

My other rig is 4690k with my other vertex 3 60Gb but waiting to install the 850's. Same startups but running Manjaro w/ Xfce. FF is pretty gud. Chrome is hot garbage.

Quick question, it's just me or changing the "highlight all" from "Alt + A" to "Alt + L" makes everything more uncomfortable?

Already landed on nightly.
>>
>>57479200
Considering most folks should be used to performing these keyboard shortcuts with their left hand already I can say no you're not alone. Copy, paste, cut, and highlight all on one hand.
>>
>>57479200
I've never used that before, I always use ^a. It that not possible on mac?
either way, it definitely is less comfortable because now you need two hands on the keyboard instead of one.
>>
... they need to pause a few seconds before doing this kind of shit.

If someone needs me I'll be practicing moving the mouse with my elbow while maintaining both hands on the keyboard.

Maybe i should try vimperator now that firefox has become full retard with the hotkeys too.
>>
>>57479354
It's the highlight hotkey, dude. Not select-all.
If you really use the highlight feature that much you might as well keep it on and never turn it off. Then you don't have to worry about the hotkey for it.

>>
>>57479418
Have to toggle it sometimes cause it works like shit since they introduced modal highlighting on nightly.

Anyway how hard It's to take a few seconds to think if the change is making things harder to use before landing a patch?

It remembers me to tab groups (panorama) the hotkey was Ctrl + Space then changed to Ctrl + E both pretty comfy but then they changed it again to Ctrl + Shift + E that was slightly uncomfortable compared to the previous hotkeys.
