Possible broken packages affecting system speed

After recent update, i've been whenever i open FireFox,Telegram, sublime editor or such app lags so much, firefox takes 20-25 seconds to open up even after first time, telegram takes upto 35 seconds and more on reopening. I've never notices this lag in 1 year daily usage.

So, i saw journal and seeing this error on on opening such apps
