Ok, I disable it, actually it is a little faster, but opera is even faster.

From ps aux I found this option command option in Opera:

As you can see firefox takes up more memory, and opera was startd with 
--type=renderer , maybe is an option command to disable gpu rendering.

Maybe modern browsers as firefox and chromium have more features ( for 
commercial purposes, the web is a huge business ) that  make them heavy.

The same thing for thunderbird, a simple e-mail nntp client need 
200-300Mb to start up.
