Actually if it’ll let you close down, then you know it’s done. The only visible indication you have is that the window hangs.

I’m amazed at the difference it made on my machine, but I probably had at least three years’ worth of cruft in there. If I imported my profile from another PC, it could have been more than that.

One caveat though, I waited a long time without seeing any visible indication that it was through. Finally gave up and closed it. When I went back into Firefox it was significantly faster. Thanks for sharing this with us.
