After upgrading to F40 Workstation on VMs with mac host (both M1 and Intel based macs, virtualization with VMWare Fusion), Firefox takes ages (around 4 minutes) to open.
The same happens when running firefox --safe-mode from terminal.
Is this a known issue? I haven’t found such references here, nor as a bug report.
YES! Same here. Just upgraded to F40 this morning or last night via Discover - and after I reboot and open/run/start firefox, it says another version is already running, and I click several times before it starts.
Same problem for me.
Tried with flatpak version and on another laptop but same slow startup.
With a “strace firefox” the slowdown appear around “/run/systemd/resolve/io.systemd.Resolve”.
After disabling my nextdns configuration which was using /etc/systemd/resolved.conf problem was solved.
No, my two Fedora 40 install are on 2 differents hardware, no VMs.
I tried the workaround mentionned here : Firefox slow to start due to waiting for systemd-resolved
but NetworkManager didn’t created the required file and network was not working (propabbly only DNS).
Some additional info, in case someone might want to look deeper into it: I have noticed the same behaviour with Anaconda Installer, when booting from a live iso. Changing the Network Adapter settings fixes it.
thank you!
i’ve been searching for the issue
i didn’t even think of the vNIC of vmware fusion
i have librewolf as well-- same issue
but ms edge is fine
in which isaw when i spun openindiana, changed NAT to Bridge
Great that you have found a workaround. If you want the workaround to be persistent even when changing hostname, you can check @vgaetera 's post above.
Can confirm this fix. Also had this issue with my Fedora VM. I had it before and after upgrading to 40. Changing the VM’s Network Adapter from NAT to Bridged solved the issue, for now.
