This is supposedly a lot better with Firefox 55, released this week :)

Only for restoring lots of tabs.

And by god is it fast now. I have in excess of 200 tabs open in various groups (RIP Tab groups), and didn't remember that my Firefox had updated. I open Firefox, see it startup instantly and my first reaction was that Firefox somehow forgot all the tabs that I had loaded and had just started a new window. Imagine my surprise when everything was just as I wanted!

Yeah, I have a strong hunch that a ten-second startup time is due to restoring lots of tabs.
