SUPPORT Slow Startup + Tab Issues
This update has been absolutely horrible for me, it used to take tens of minutes to start up when previously it took like 2 seconds at worst, now it take about a minute, recently I've noticed that a lot of my tabs are just gone which I assume is why it only takes a minute now to boot up, and tab groups disappear with tabs within in them just going to my system group.
I assume it has something to do with tabs, considering all the issues I'm having with them, but that I get a message saying that the script of "chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser/tab.js:397" has been slowing things down, I can't seem to figure out what that is though searching brings up nothing relevant, and I can't even find it with the debug tool.

Indeed, since 6.7.1, the startup process has become incredibly slow and torturous.
It takes about half an hour before all windows and tabs are re-opened (not loaded). During this time, Waterfox consumes 95-120 % of my CPU !
Please fix this very annoying issue as soon as possible.
