Ask HN: Did Firefox with Snap on Ubuntu recently improve startup times?
After being frustrated with startup times of Firefox on Ubuntu for some time, I realize sometime recently I stopped noticing a large startup time on my desktop. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know what changed?
- butz 4y agoThey are still working on it, but have made significant improvements. Posted on 8th of July 2022: "Our latest improvements look to deliver an average 50% reduction in start time after a fresh install compared to Firefox 101, consistent across a range of distributions and platforms."
