About sessionrestore8/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() First, a disclaimer: these tests were only designed to give some insight on the areas we should focus on for the goal. Over the weekend I spent some serious time with my computer running a bunch of tests with standalone talos in 11 different situations. I also have good news about both of these issues! The cookies.sqlite issue is now fixed and will be a part of beta 4, and Paul has some good data about session restore and tabs (with more to come). With those results, I identified two issues that would impact startup the most: In my last post, we looked at my profile with various pieces removed to try and figure out why startup might be slow for people. This will pretty much confirm or deny my hypothesis of this week’s results. ![]() Next week I’m going to spend some time getting numbers with these profiles on the latest release of Firefox 3.6 with and without add-ons disabled to compare. The good news is that the add-ons team is already working on solutions to this, and you should expect some blog posts from them about this soon. This seems to implicate add-ons being at least part of the problem (which we knew) or possibly all of the problem at this point (for the profiles tested). What I see from this data is that profiles in the wild, with add-ons disabled aren’t much slower than a clean profile. Bad in that we don’t have any way to quickly improve the issues that people are seeing. Good in that I now have a pretty good idea on why people have bad startup times. Like I said, the results are both good and bad. ![]()
