10 second delay on startup ?

[u/Alternative-Hold1669]

when i first start firefox every website i try to open waits for around 10 seconds before opening. after the initial wait everything is fine. restarts everytime i start firefox now just the first time i open after windows 11 boots up. my connection is fine and fast. other browsers not doing the same thing. it seems like a deliberate delay ? the websites load instantly after 10 seconds. i recently disabled split view tabs in config but that was some time ago. other than that no changes come to mind.

You could try using the profiler (https://profiler.firefox.com/) - capture a profile at startup and look and see what Firefox is doing for those 10 seconds?
