I see the same behaviour with iceweasel from backports. When you launch
iceweasel from the menu or a panel icon then you get start-up
notification as specified in the last line of the file
/usr/share/applications/iceweasel.desktop. When you launch from a
terminal, that is not the case.
Still, I don't know the underlying reason why iceweasel displays the
busy cursor for so long. Presumably some internal initialisation is
taking longer than expected. But I'm convinced that that is still the
case when launching from a terminal: it's just that we are not being
made aware of the fact.
