It's not that I am not asking for it, it's just that I've been through all of this multiple times. Tried things in my power to fix to no success. I have indeed became indifferent. Am guessing someone at Mozilla could have dug up where the issue lies if they cared enough but most frequent answer I've got from them was "do a refresh".
Also, no, I don't have gigabytes of bookmarks. But even if I did, that shouldn't really affect startup time. We have databases for a reason, just query at the moment I search for them.
What if you delete all your bookmarks? Does that help?
What about deleting all bookmarks, reinstall Firefox then sync account with no bookmarks.
What about exporting bookmarks and adding them to a fresh Firefox without a profile.
I think bookmarks are part of the issue but not whole. It's been more than a year since I tried debugging this and gave up. My machine doesn't get shut down often and this wait happens only on fresh start. So I kind of learned to live with it.
