Do you mean you update FF using its builtin updater rather than with
yum? (I'm talking about FF itself of course, not the add-ons). In my
system the "Check for updates" menu item is greyed out.

And I don't see any language packs other than English and Spanish, which
are the ones I've enabled. The others are there of course (I can enable
them if I want), but they don't get in the way and I strongly doubt they
using any resources other than a modest amount of disk space (11MB on my
system).

I'd seriously doubt this has anything to do with slow start-times.
