Slow Startup since Version 141.0 Update

It seems that since the Version 141.0 update, initial startup of FF seems to take ve-e-e-ery long (approx 3-4 minutes).

The startup time/lag seems almost the same as it takes to restart after an update.

Anyone else experience this also? Thanks.

All good with startups now after FF "refresh". Takes about 2-3 seconds to load home page. 👍

Clear the startup cache to see if it helps. see screenshot

Windows home or pro? What security software are you running besides MS Defender? What version of Firefox?

Yesterday and today experienced "long" startups. ~2+ minutes. Using Windows10 Home. McAfee Livesafe Cleared browser cache. No help. Started up in Troubleshoot Mode. No help.

Going to try changing Home Page selection to see if there's a change. If that is unsuccessful, I will try a refresh of FF.

Well... seems as if the refresh may have solved the issue. Will monitor for awhile and report back.
