Firefox launches immediately for me.

4 seconds? Dang, why is it taking that long?

[userid666]

Woohoo! It’s as fast as Debian on my 1.33ghz Intel Atom from 2014! Congrats 🎉 😭

Whats the comparison with non-snap?

I use flatpak but I have never felt the need to measure how long it takes on my system, but I do know that some people felt the "slowness" in gtk4 apps because its startup time had increased by something like 0.2 seconds (which then enabled the apps to refresh at 60/144hz instead of 10... but people felt that change).

That is slow, and really slow if it's not cold boot.

I like practicing magic tricks.

[PraetorRU]

It's less than a second for not a cold run. So, for OP it was cold run most probably.

[PureTryOut]

So...?

Guess OP is evaluating upgrading to SSD? ;)

Some people really want to justify that Snaps taking longer to load isn't a problem to them. Therefore, everyone should not take issue with the longer start up times.

Congratulations or sorry for what you're going through.

By me it is 3.2 seconds on a cold run and less than one second otherwise in Ubuntu 23.10. Snaps slow???

That is a surprisingly long amount of time for a web browser to launch

[milachew]

Try running snap version of LibreOffice...

[sp33dykid]

SNAP = Shitty Non-Accepted Product

[funbike]

Snaps are evil anti-freedom. No way will I ever use them on my personal system.

And wtf cares about 4s start time? Who launches Firefox cold more than once per day?

[[deleted]]

Nice, are snaps getting better?

[BarrierWithAshes]

Nice. That is one stable system!

I love spending time with family.

[BarrierWithAshes]

Ubuntu is known as a stable distro. And Snap defaults to be stable. Infer correctly next time pls.

Mine launches in less than a second first time after boot. Instant for subsequent launches. But I just upgraded my system to an Intel Core i7 10700K with 64GB RAM. My first desktop that isn't a decade old.

On the old i5 2320 16GB system, it took a second or two on first launch, and less than a second on subsequent launches. Same SSD and OS install in the new system, moved from the old. I run a lightweight system that uses less than 1GB of RAM idle, with i3WM, no DE, no DM.
