In this release the firefox deb package is an empty package which pulls the snap package. Actual results: When I launch firefox, the delay between my click on the apparition of the window is very long compared to the behaviour of the previous version of the distribution (Firefox as a deb package). Expected results: Could Mozilla officially maintain a tightly integrated package (i. e. deb package through a complementary apt repository which could be directly maintained by Mozilla) for the long term support release of Ubuntu ?

Using the regular Mozilla builds should be straight-forward though. A deb package shouldn't be much more than untarring that and adding a `.desktop` file. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 443422 *** Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1970989/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2022-05-01T12:14:06+00:00 Jérôme Bouat wrote: This bug isn't a duplicate of bug 443422. The bug 443422 is requesting a debug deb package ("provide debian dbg packages") with the debugging symbols of the Firefox software. I'm just requesting the regular main deb package for the Firefox software. Could you please make the status back to unconfirmed ?

This could make Firefox less competitive compared to other web browsers which would benefit from a deb package. The startup is very slow especially for the first startup of a snap machinery since the computer startup. The user may wonder if Firefox is buggy or if it became a bloatware. Moreover, this make Firefox less energy efficient with an increasing cpu and I/O usage (laptop battery operated, responsible behaviour towards the environment). Note that the total system memory consumption increases too.

But it is definitely something that needs to be addressed. It would be helpful if you could quantify this "very long startup time" in your specific case, and share details about your hardware. It would also be helpful if you could test the snap in the candidate channel (to be promoted to stable tomorrow when Firefox 100.0 is released) and let us know whether you're seeing a significant difference in startup time (bonus points for comparative measurements): sudo snap refresh firefox --candidate Can you elaborate on the increased CPU, I/O, memory and energy consumption you're seeing? This is definitely not expected.
