Steps to reproduce:

Start up firefox. Window takes very long time to appear.
Attempt to open a new window. Window takes very long time to appear.


Actual results:

The placeholder for the window exists in the menu, but the window does not appear for a very long time.  This happens for a window in startup, or when opening a new window or dialog window.  It happened when choosing to report this bug for example.

I didn't managed to reproduce this issue on the latest release(43.0.4) nor the latest Nightly(46.0a1).

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20160105164030

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160111030207

Can you please try to reproduce this on the latest release(43.0.4) and latest Nightly(46.0a1) and provide the results?
When doing this, you could create a new clean Firefox profile, or maybe test in safe mode, as some of this issues may be caused by third party installed addons or custom settings

Thank you,
