Why is this ? If you're comparing MSIE to Firefox, one answer is that MSIE is running all the time. It uses the same libraries that Windows uses to draw everything that makes up its GUI. So you're not seeing its start up time (that was part of Windows booting up), just the time taken to open another Window. Firefox, on the other hand, is an entirely independent appliction. Likewise for various other browsers.
