> Why is the %u launcher option causing this poor user experience?
Not at all. Firefox is always slow to start, no matter what command
line options you specify :) One thing you can do to speed up a
little its start up is to disable all the language packs you don't
use. Are you using KDE or Gnome?
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.
The %u option is explained here:

Why is this option causing Firefox to give the impression of having
a slow startup?
