I'm using Gnome. If I make a copy of the firefox launcher and remove the %u option from the command, I don't experience 15 seconds of seeing "Starting Firefox Web Browser" button on the Windows List applet and the busy mouse pointer. I had thought Firefox was busy initializing, but now I find removing the %u makes Firefox seem ready for action immediately.
