Two things.

Browser start up time. In the past, Firefox was considerably slower from double clicking the icon to being ready to use than Chrome. Much less difference now.

Raw pipe speed is only part of the story. Once you have all that html on your machine, you've got to parse it and render it. (Can be recursive, of course, if there are references in the html to other documents) All that takes time. Firefox used to not be as good at it as Chrome. Again, much less so now.
