bold text On brand new DELL Alien-ware laptop with Windows 11 Firefox sometimes takes 30 seconds to open, Also once it is closed it cannot immediately open again. Error message shows Firefox is already opened and asks me to close it.

In the task manager under Apps running I see Firefox(12) when only the home page is open. Are those 12 hidden tabs or 12 parallel applications?

Have I made some errors in the Setup?
