?? Boot Windows and you automagically "pre-load" vitalparts of IE.

Last FF version and XP SP3. Is possible that this slowing down is due
to the loading of internal application of FF like Hyperwords,
DownloadHelper, Dictionary?

Extensions take extra time to start the application up, yes. Depends
entirely on which ones, as some of them just start, others need to refer

(I have 14 add-ons, and all is fine on XP SP3. However, no heavy add-ons
like Dictionary)
