Is it so long for you too? Around 2 seconds on an intel core2 quad, 4G RAM, FreeBSD 9.1 amd64. > What kind of bloat has been added so it's so big to start.. When building firefox from source, I only set the GIO and OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS options to ON. All other options were set to OFF. You could try using Profile Guided Optimizations, but it will make the build a lot slower. Do you have plugins (not add-ons) like java or flash installed? Try disabling those.
