My slow Nightly starts appear to be due to uBlock Origin.

I'm not surprised, as since FF's major add-on changes, Nightly had been usable at start but uBlock's blocking wouldn't start working for a while after starting and browsing in Nightly.

uBlock not being functional until later was annoying, but now it looks like Nightly holds off until uBlock is functional before Nightly will load a page/your homepage on start.

So currently for me, it takes a long time before Nightly is usable after starting it with uBlock enabled. But here's hoping Nightly/Firefox is finally heading back closer to the launch speed it had with uBlock back before the add-on changes.

Slow? Nothing that I have noticed.

I do see that Nightly now installs the update before the restart. And that opening a 'new' tab causes a pause to load and display. Which I assumed was a design feature.

Am I missing something?

The loading of extensions before opening web pages was a design decision because users of ad blockers don't want to see ads on their home pages, and that was the only way to make sure extensions that change content (ad blockers, script blockers, reddit enhancement, etc.) were launched first.

My machine is fast with lots of RAM, so I haven't noticed any slowdown in Firefox, not to be confused with my own slowdown in the past few decades. :)

One thing you might do is save your ad blocker options, uninstall uBlock Origin, restart Firefox, install uBlock Origin, restore your ad blocker options, and see if that improves restart time of Firefox. (A change in how extensions stores data wasn't always cleanly migrated.)

After restarting Nightly, uBO doesn't always loads on my pinned tabs, which auto-reload after a restart.
Other extensions may have similar issues but I don't have many which modify the content.

Not seeing that issue with uBlock Dev but I am seeing issues with rendering pages with large amount of text where the page will just whitescreen and stay like that until I scroll to another area.

Development version of uBO now have "suspendTabsUntilReady" feature enabled by default and uses "persistent startup listener" to prevent loading of pages before uBO will load all of the filter lists and will be ready to filter ads.

The first time I go to about:support I notice two things

1. There is some graphical glitches when it first displays
2. Multiprocess Windows shows 1/1 Unknown status

After this all appears fine when run again. Starts all over again when I exit and start Fx.

Confirm? Might be that about:support is now using Fluent.

Didn't get any graphical glitches but I'm getting "Multiprocess Windows 1/1 Unknown status"
