Slow startup detected It seems that Pale Moon is taking much longer than normal to start. What happened? Pale Moon, as part of normal monitoring of its process, has detected that starting the browser is taking much longer than it should. This can have multiple reasons: Your computer is very busy due to other running programs, slowing the start of Pale Moon. Your computer is low on memory. There is a problem with your session store (saved windows and tabs from last time) causing a large delay. There is a problem with one or more extensions, delaying the startup of the browser. What can I do to fix this? If you run into this regularly, you should examine what the cause is using the above points. If your computer is low on memory, considering adding more memory or closing resident programs. If there is a delay because you are using a very large number of tabs, consider using bookmarks instead. Examine your extensions and check for any incompatibilities. You can also try to give Pale Moon a fresh start with your data by performing a profile reset. To do this, go to Help -> troubleshooting information... and use the "Reset" button top-right, if present. In some situations this button may nor be present, in which case you should create a fresh profile; for more assistance with that, please visit our community forum.
