Meaning of the notification Firefox seems slow to start?

Question

Hi Firefox experts,

When launching Firefox, it sometimes displays at the bottom a

notification saying "Mozilla Firefox seems slow... to... start."
Is this an official notification type within Firefox? Because I never saw this notification before with older versions (pre v70.0).

What may be a cause for this notification to appear irregurarly? I have not any addons. Could I do something to my profile folder?

Other than that Firefox is working just perfect, have not any issues and not any observable differences to older versions. Thank you

It has been around since before Firefox 28: I have a message at the bottom of the window saying Firefox seems slow to start with some buttons to push. this reminds me of PHishing, is it? if so, how rid?. — Andrew Morton, Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 11:55
If it happens only sometimes, check if the system is not being slow at everything at that moment. Although Firefox complains about a slow start, the problem might be other application or a temporary condition. — Eduardo Trápani, Commented Feb 14, 2020 at 12:06

That message has been in Firefox since 2014 (if not longer).

That is a valid message that shows if Firefox starts slow.

Some solutions are in the Firefox takes a long time to start up article
