Installed last night and tested it.

I have 14 add-ons in my previous v49.0.2 version and the start up time then was 13.5 sec

Now, with the same 14 add-ons, in v50 the start up time is 7.5 sec

An improvement of about 45% in start up time


It is much faster now but still lose to Chrome which starts up about 3.5 sec with 15 extensions
