The startup behaviour of the mozregression GUI on macOS is confusing and time consuming since version 5.7.0.

After double clicking the application the mozregression icon appears for a very short time in the dock, then it disappears. It always takes more than 10 seconds, sometimes even more than 20 seconds (!) until it suddenly reappears and mozregression opens - on a Apple M1 Pro device, that's a very fast machine.

It's a regression of version 5.7.0, mozregression 5.6.0 did not have any startup issues, it opened immediately, less than one second.

  • Nothing happens for multiple seconds.
  • Then the dock icon reappears and a startup message appears.
  • Nothing happens for several seconds.
  • Then a second dock icon appears.
  • Then the first dock icon disappears.
