I can't answer your question directly, as I haven't experienced Firefox problems in a few years. In the past, I experienced regular hangs and crashes.

There are a few point to unpacck here:

  - Qualifying a statement with "Full stop" is a thought-terminating cliche.
  - Due to the different hardware, operating systems, and use cases people have, peoples' experience, and the problems they encounter vary between users of PC software.
  - Milliseconds as overhead to startup may be irrelevant. Ms in most computing contexts is a timescale to be concerned with, as it's relevant for latency, cumulative operations, and responsiveness.


This isn't "most computing contexts", so that point is irrelevant. You've already admitted the point "may be" irrelevant (it is), so why bring it up.


I've used Firefox with on Windows, iOS, and various linux distributions with absolutely no day to day issues.

Yeah, well I like it. Full stop.
