> I use Firefox inside eatmydata nowadays, because it spends 10 minutes enumerating the same 2 directories every time it starts up (hundreds of thousands of times).

What have you got like a 10 year old profile or something?

Librewolf starts up instantly for me, and I saw no performance difference using eatmdata.

Why would an old profile cause it to be scanned hundreds of thousands of times? (Yeah, I'm resetting it next time just in case... 10 years is amateur's numbers :) )

Anyway, there are a lot of people reporting the same thing on the internet. I've found 3 different bugs opened for the same thing.

But yeah, as far as I remember, Iceweasel doesn't do it either. Maybe I should change my browser.
