When I launch Firefox from the Applications Menu, there always appears a 2nd

This gives me the impression that Firefox starts very slow on Fedora. (F9
and F10).

Just now I discovered that if create a new launcher and remove the %u option
from the command, Firefox starts up immediately!

Why is the %u launcher option causing this poor user experience?

The %u is not needed. I don't know why it is there by default.
