I am using Firefox since many years ago: it's my default browser Up to Win 10 with no problems. in 2023 I bought this Asus Expertbook, that came with win 11. For about 1 year everything OK. Last summer it started taking 30 seconds (exactly: 32") to start up each time. If I keep it open, every additional window will open at light speed (a usual). If I turn it off, each next opening takes 32". If i click on a URL link, after some seconds a blank screen opens (and occupies all the screen, covering all other open applications) and remains blank till 32", then it works. I use few plugins/extensions: Bitdefender, Google anti-Analytics and (recently) "To Google Translate" For some reason also the Firefox Beta translator appears. Translations are still ridiculous... but there is no way to deactivate it. I have read community articles but found no clue. I tried - a Firefox tune-up - clearing the startup cache - restarting in troubleshooting mode no success. I cancelled all my passwords and bookmarks and the few plugins I used. Uninstalled it, downloaded a new installer from Mozilla Webpage, re-installed it, NOT allowing it to retrieve and incorporate old settings, preferences etc. (but - god knows how- it managed to go around looking for preferences/bookmarks and incorporated them). The 32" delay still stands firm. Lastly: I noted that Mozilla Firefox folder stays in "C:\Program Files" But Mozilla Maintenance Service folder stays, instead, in "C:\Program Files (x86)" Also I noted that in Task Manager the Firefox app appears with a progressive number on its right. A the moment "Firefox (15)" I will attach a small screenshot of the Task Manager and hope the info appearing in the "Help/Other Troubleshooting information" page is shared
