Firefox/Mozilla startup on Linux/Unix/etc is a dog's breakfast to put it lightly.
$ time /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
real 0m2.564s user 0m0.172s sys 0m0.190s

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 5 model name : Pentium II (Deschutes) stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 450.035 cache size : 512 KB
Not exactly the fastest PC on the planet.
$ cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 517164 kB MemFree: 4904 kB Buffers: 79380 kB Cached: 233092 kB
Ok so it's chock full to the gills with RAM and the kernel has cached some 230Mb of the disk. Here endeth the lesson
