One minute delay opening external hyperlinks

Firefox 22.0, Windows 7 Professional SP1. Should I click an Hyperlink in ANY external application (Thunderbird, win32pad, word, excel, etc.) when Firefox is NOT running, it starts almost instantaneously and opens the hyperlink immediately. Should Firefox be already running, it takes EXACTLY one minute (60.00 seconds) to open the hyperlink in a new tab. Running Firefox with add-ons disabled (Help-->Restart with add-ons disabled") works fine. Disabling ALL the add-ons manually and restarting Firefox (just to check which one is offending), Firefox is anyway one minute slow to open. Resetting Firefox (new profile) works for one day or two, then the problem raises again. Any idea how to identify the cause and fix it? The problem appeared suddenly, possibly after the last update.

check your settings for tabs - maybe "Don't load tabs until selected" is not checked. see Tab preferences and settings

It WAS checked. Just to be sure I unchecked it: same behavior and I re-checked it again: same behavior. FF still takes 60 seconds to even "create" the new tab, not to "load" the contents. After the minute, the new tab is created and focused, so there is no basic difference in behavior with the flag checked or not. But I discovered something new: during the 1 minute wait, using task manager, I see TWO copies of Firefox.exe. Once the second one terminates, the tab is created, opened and loaded. This second instance of Firefox.exe appeares as soon as I click the hyperlink and shows 0 in CPU, and I/O read, write and other don't increase after the first few seconds.

During this "wait" time, I see a loop of LockFile (NOT GRANTED), LockFile (SUCCESS), UnlockSingleFile(SUCCESS) on extensions.sqlite.
