Why is the new firefox so slow in starting? 15 seconds?! Too long!

I did all the things that were suggested: i have minimal services, optimized windows (Vista SP-2), no A/V running, nothing--the newer version (52.5.2esr) is so slow, I had to regress back to 52.3.0. (32-bit). Fifteen seconds is just too long, I don't care what it's doing. I don't have but two add ons, and that can't be the reason. Upgrades should mean better performance, faster speeds, not slower!! I am still grateful, however, that Mozilla at least cares enough to still support Vista, whereas Chrome/google left us out to twist.

(FIXED) 

the problem is in the Firefox app

1- click on (help)

2- click on (troubleshooting information )

3- then click on ( refresh firefox ) click yes and proceed .
