It happened with a very recent update. After running the `firefox` command, it did not launch for minutes and used %100 of a single core during that time. When it finally opened, I pressed "Start New Session" button, then it hanged for minutes again, It is still hanging. But this time, it consumes almost no cpu time. Nothing unusual with ram consumption. I launched firefox with `MOZ_LOG=all:5 MOZ_LOG_FILE=~/fold_tmp/firefox_related/logs1/log_firefox firefox` the log files that been created can be seen in the attachment. All 7 firefox log files are completely empty. And as you can see, there is 4 minute difference between the creation of the first log file and the other 6 log files.

seamonkey also takes more than 3 minutes 30 seconds to launch. It is pretty responsive after the launch. I have downloaded seamonkey from
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
The specific seamonkey download link is
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.53.16/linux-x86_64/en-GB/seamonkey-2.53.16.en-GB.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

chromium works without any issues on my system.
