I used Firefox on Wheezy for years under KDE, never had problems with Firefox speed. If you start Firefox cold, the first window may take 2-5 seconds to load depending on the number of plugins one has installed, if a browsing session need to be restored, etc. but after that new FF windows take a fraction of a second to open. I think that's quite acceptable unless you are participating in some kind of startbrowser-shutdownbroser-restartbrowser competition. Once FF is running I leave it around for days and sometimes weeks, I use the browser often so I see not point in shutting it down and restarting all the time.
