After upgrading to fedora 40, firefox just takes ages to boot up, even when it's running if I want to open a new window it still takes ages to run. I have tried uninstalling it and deleting it's data but with no luck. The issue still presists.

Make sure /etc/hosts includes your hostname (found in /etc/hostname).

127.0.1.1        <hostname>

Does the following command respond quickly or timeout?

hostname -f

It does take time before printing out "hostname: Temporary failure in name resolution".

I tried it a second time, it did take some time but this time it did print out the hostname.
