Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971037 Title: [snap] Firefox starts very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1971037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
