Is your experience with a different computer really comparable, eg. on
the same place, same OS, same connection, etc.?

A considerable factor, in the wait time for a page to be rendered and
presented, is your internet connection speed. Is that via a telephone
line modem, perhaps?

On Cable or DSL, Google search results are presented in a split second.
Do you have a google extension installed?
'yahoo.com' should present the home page in a few seconds. Do you have
javascript enabled, do you allow popups and cookies?

Review your Fx preference settings, see Tools/Options, for the above.

On a slow connection you may opt not to display pictures and block flash
downloads (install the Flashblock extension!), to save data transfer and
page rendering time.
