Both Firefox and Palemoon have been starting super slow on my i3 manjaro recently. Can take more then a minute before I see any screen. It runs fine after it has started up.
I am at a loss to figure out what is causing this slowness.
uname -a
Linux laptop-pc 5.3.8-3-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 3 14:19:23 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Browser versions
Firefox version 70.0.1
Palemoon version 28.7.1
I have tried a number of performance enhancements. Most of them are about improving performance after it is already started.
This slowness started of a recent clean re-installation of my os.
