Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start

SolarPunker@slrpnk.net to Linux@lemmy.ml – 40 points –

While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

Nothing special, I don't think that's the problem since the lag is at every launch and it takes something like a minute to appear.

Listen to the parent, this is almost certainly something to do with DNS (i.e. Firefox is not getting an answer for some reason, then timing out, then using maybe a backup DNS server; maybe there are multiple rounds of this). Who knows how your distro and that flatpak produce this interaction, but something is going on there.

If that's the issue, why it doesn't happen with all other flatpaks?

Don't know. Different runtimes? Different permissions?
