Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start

Jump

  • I'm on a fresh install. I experienced this with Firefox, LibreWolf and Waterfox.

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

  • 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.

  • Bazzite should have wayland by default

  • What is it? I'm on Bazzite.

  • Ok, I've tested this, I've noticed a lag of a couple of seconds for the first time I launched a distroboxed app.

  • I've "solved" using distrobox, it work pretty well and I don't see any lag. Bazzite is a very good distro imho, the problem is more on Firefox here.

  • Are there any processes in particular that I should keep an eye on? At the moment I don't notice any new particularly high load.

  • Ok I'm writing this thru Firefox (distrobox) and it works pretty well, no lag noticed.

  • Thank you!

  • In fact I hadn't thought about it, I always tried Nix as a separate distribution.

  • Oh thx for the info, I can maybe try with rpm-ostree in the case of lag. Nix is very good but I'm liking Bazzite very much for my needs, everything else seems working very good.

  • Oh I forgot about rpm-ostree ty! In this case of flatpak not working it is suggested rpm-ostree or distrobox?

  • My only extension is uBlock Origin but it isn't the problem (I uninstalled it to test and nothing changed). Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try to play with distrobox (I'm new to Bazzite and immutable distros).

  • The only "Firefox" not presenting this start issue for me is Floorp but it's proprietary.

  • If it is due to an inefficiency of Firefox it seems strange to me that no fork has solved the problem, other browsers like Brave work perfectly.

  • Anything else works fine, the only other problem I've noticed is that some GTK applications don't respect the KDE Plasma theme (in my case only Quod Libet).

  • Sorry for what? I'm trying a fresh install of Bazzite so the distro prefers flatpaks.

    • Buster supervising the server upgrade

  • sudo pacman -S irony
