That really is non-sense. Firefox is open source. Canonical can choose how to build/distribute it.
And as a user I can choose to change that. And I just did, I followed these instructions https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install- firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 Now I changed back to a deb based version built by Canonical staff and distributed through Canonical infrastructure. And Firefox starts in 5sec instead of 15sec. This bug report was intended to register that performance significantly regressed. What you are stating is that that is a deliberate choice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971037 Title: [snap] Firefox starts very slow Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Since "22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)" Firefox is installed as a snap. This causes the startup time for Firefox to roughly double. This is particularly noticeable on computers that were already not the fastest. In my case brainwashed ex-Chromebook Acer C720P (Intel Celeron 2955U @ 1.40GHz, with SSD) 8sec -> 15sec. This really is an unnecessary regression as snaps bring the user no advantage. In particular, for a typical notebook Firefox might arguably be the most used package and forcing users to a snapped version of Firefox without fallback leaves an overall perception of Ubuntu Jellyfish being slow.
