<h2>Fixing a 25 second startup delay in Firefox</h2>
<h3>06-09-2023</h3>
<p>
I found Firefox was taking a while to launch in XFCE4. I tested removing
the plugins, emptying the cache, etc. but nothing worked.
</p>
<p>
Eventually I ran "strace Firefox" and found it was hanging polling
something for 25 seconds.
</p>
<p>
So armed with the readout from strace, I searched and found the solution :
</p>
<code>
sudo pacman -Rndd xdg-desktop-portal
</code>
<p>
I kept xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as the bug isn't in there. Apparently
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome has the same bug, but I don't use Gnome so...
</p>
<p>Both Firefox and Libreoffice now launch in milliseconds!</p>
<p>I hope this helps someone else...</p>
