It takes too a long time for Tor Browser to close and be ready for a next
start
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 64bit
Tor Browser ver: 9.0.5 64bit
When closing Tor Browser i have to wait about 70 seconds for it to close
completely.
For instance, when i start the browser and do nothing (but leave it on the
initial page "about tor") and then close it, it takes a while for
processes "-childID 1" and "-childID 2" to close, but the process
"-childID 3" (or, in the case of surfing, usually the last in number) as
well as "Firefox" remain in the background of processes for nearly 70
seconds (or 1 minute and 10 seconds) - in that time the process "Firefox"
is working intensively taking most of the processor resource (over 98%)
(i.e. for all that time - about 70 seconds - until it is completely
closed).
It is impossible to start the browser during those 70 seconds (you know
the message "Tor Browser is already running, but is not responding. To
open a new window, you must first close the existing Tor Browser process,
or restart your system.")
