Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a crashed session. If you have (security) software that interferes with that or have many tabs open then that cause cause a delay.

Some have reported that increasing the session store saving interval worked for them. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.interval http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
