I would like Firefox to show a splash screen immediately, whenever I start it or click on a link while it is not running.
Firefox loads fairly slowly, in my opinion. It's worth the wait, but I'd like to at least know that it's loading, so I don't have to sit there wondering if I should click the link again. I tried the Splash add-on a few versions back, but found that the splash screen did not appear until near the end of the loading process, which is nearly useless. What is needed is something that pops up immediately after I click a link or a shortcut. Is there any way to configure this?

Firefox should open in a few second. If it takes tens of seconds or even minutes then you may have a problem with an extension or another profile issue or security software that is monitoring Firefox too strictly.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Thank you very much for the advice. I will try it.
Am I to assume that the answer to my question is "no"?
You're welcome
Firefox doesn't have a splash screen and one added by an extension will always show at a later time.
