Flatpak Firefox (and forks) very slow to start - SLRPNK

While other flatpak apps have no problems. Any suggestions?

Native packages? Sorry.
Sorry for what? I’m trying a fresh install of Bazzite so the distro prefers flatpaks.

Probably best that you do the same (installing packages in the FS overlay kind of starts to defeat the point of containerization). You could try installing it with a distrobox and then exporting the app—see if that fixes your loading issues.

I run Bazzite on a gaming laptop from 2015, and I haven’t noticed any particularly long load times. Do you have some browser extension that are maybe causing issues?

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).
Distrobox will introduce a startup lag of it’s own. I would rather reccoment (seriously this time) something like nix (it is officially supported for your distro) or junest.
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.
You don’t quite understand me, it seems. Nix is already available inside Bazzitr as an additional package manager.
In fact I hadn’t thought about it, I always tried Nix as a separate distribution.
