   With my XP Pro, 32-bit, FF 52.6.0 ESR now takes at least a minute to   
   'get up to speed' after launch. It's often not too happy with those   
   websites that carry a lot of additional baggage. It usually helps if run   
   with the addons disabled.   
      
   I also find it helps to have a dummy (unused) session of FF running -   
   and if I then launch another session, that starts quite quickly.
