I switched after Manifest v3. I won’t go back to Chrome as long as it limits ad-blocking, but I do miss its speed. Firefox takes a long time to open (especially when you have a lot of extensions). Even with the same number of extensions, Chrome opens in a jiffy. There are other areas of slowdown as well. Sometimes I hit Control+D to bookmark a page and nothing happens. At first I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, but now I know to just wait, and sure enough five to ten seconds after I hit the shortcut it works. A delay that long (especially one with no notification of any kind) is really bad UX.

Oof, a delay that long should not happen. Might be worth reporting at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org https://bugzilla.mozilla.org, ideally with a profile attached (see https://profiler.firefox.com/ https://profiler.firefox.com/)?

Unless you're running it on 15+ year old hardware, it sounds like something is very wrong. I've used Firefox / LibreWolf basically since it existed and can't remember any UI delays longer than a second.

Note that Firefox for me within the last 3/4 months seems to have (I assume it's by design?) changed to automatically add a bookmark to the most-recently-added bookmark folder WITHOUT asking which folder to use (it just adds a blue star in the address bar) which is pretty annoying IMO and isn't the behaviour I want 95% of the time. Pressing Ctrl/Cmd-D a second time then does "Edit bookmark", and allows you to change it. Might that be contributing to what you're seeing? (blue star appearing is fairly obvious though).
