Hi, on a machine with AlmaLinux 9.7 installed with KDE Desktop Environment. It seems that once the KDE DE is loaded and if/when Firefox is launched it just takes a long time (30 seconds or so), almost like it fails to launch. Multiple launch attempts can be made and eventually Firefox does launch but in most cases then other instances that launch need to be closed (due to multiple launch attempts). I do not know why this is. The machine is a Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 72e small with 8GiB memory and a SSD installed. Is there a way that I can troubleshoot this and possibly get Firefox to load up more easily? -Thanks
