because it needs to sniff every file for its MIME type, as files
in /usr/bin have no extension to use the dumb
"use-the-extension-as-hint-of-MIME-type" algorithm to display an icon.
hence the slowness.

solutions:
* ask firefox developers to write something using gnome-vfs to get the
applications that can open a given MIME type;
* ask firefox developers to write something that doesn't require the
user to manually select the binary of an application;
* use epiphany, which is a sane and integrated web browser and
it doesn't expose this kind of crappy UI.
