While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

Flatpak Firefox and Chromium are very different. Note that Flatpak Firefox starts normally fast for me.

Use the native version, it is one of the best maintained software and has access to “user namespaces” for isolation.

Now search on the internet what that is XD

The only “Firefox” not presenting this start issue for me is Floorp but it’s proprietary.

Run it from the terminal to get more info.

Also run it through a profiler software like perf with the GUI hotspot.

Also, you are not by accident using secureblue, are you?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
