This problem still exists in latest Firefox (25.0), but I got a workaround (NOT by disabling global-menu):
I invoked the Unity's HUD menu shortcut (by pressing the Alt key) at the first time I opened Firefox, then typed something on it just so that the HUD loads all Firefox menu. Then closed the HUD and back to Firefox window then I got all menus (including my huge bookmarks, history, etc) can be opened normally (quickly). So I suggest to the firefox-global-menu-addon developer/team to implement some kind of PRELOADING for Firefox menus whenever it is started.

Since doing a clean install (with all packages updated) of Precise last week, it's slow (can take 10+ seconds perhaps depending on number of entries in a folder) to display contents of bookmarks folder. When I disable the Unity Global Menu Bar for Firefox & Thunderbird, behaviour is back to normal. This applies to latest version of Menubar (3.6.4 installed just now) as well as previous version.
