No, Firefox is not a victim of "bloatware." Your issue is obviously
not normal behavior.

I have seen Firefox start slowly when my DHCP server was handing out
one good DNS server and one bad DNS server. Firefox hung for a bit
while trying to communicate with the bad server. I was able to find
the cause with strace - you should try the same, or tell us some
actual specs/relevant output before talking about bloatware! :-)
