Have you tried a new profile? A long-time user will end up with a really crufty Firefox profile. Sync will move all your data to a new profile quickly and you can see what a new profile in Firefox is like.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI don't use Firefox at all, but I just did some testing and the first time I started Firefox it took about 3 seconds to show its window. Subsequent starts got faster but always took at least a second and half. Chrome starts before I can say "one".
- carussell 15y agoSync will not move all your data. I switched to a new profile after installing an add-on that introduced problems and uninstalling didn't correct those problems. I fell back to Sync for the new profile so I could salvage my history and bookmarks from my 2-ish year old profile, but it left out something like 9 months of history, all but two of my tags, and a good chunk of my bookmarks and search keywords (including the ones I'd set up for MXR). I'm not sure if it was buggy, or if Sync was intentionally not tracking the stuff that didn't get copied over. (cf mconnor's blog post a month or so ago about implementing Sync quota caps).
