### Basic information

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have a lot of Firefox windows and tabs
2. Navigate to `about:newtab` in every open window (15)
3. quit Firefox, restore session

Expected Results:

Firefox should open in 11 seconds or less (Chromium manages this, so using this as a baseline) with no visible loading occurring. 

Actual Results:

Firefox takes nearly a minute to load.

### More information

This isn't a stress test by any means - I regularly open a Firefox session with 15 windows, and with many extensions enabled. For this test, for troubleshooting purposes, I disabled my extensions and navigated to `about:newtab` to try to get a good baseline for a best case scenario with this many windows.

The fact that Chromium can open 15 windows with the Bing newtab (which has live content loaded) makes this is the number to beat.

Thanks so much for your help.
