In a new session of firefox, the initial download of a file is slow
In a new session of firefox, the first file downloaded on that session is slow to start. Almost like a pause before it bring up the where to save window. I have the "please ask me where to save" selected. Every subsequent download after the initial download, firefox brings up the where to save window quickly. Firefox 3.6.3.

Every time Firefox opened

The dialog you are referring to is a shell dialog.
The most likely reason for this to take a long time is that the default location is taking a long time to resolve, as can happen if it's a network location or if the default folder doesn't exist.
To reset the download location, reset browser.download.dir in the advanced configuration interface:
- Select Firefox's location bar (press CTRL+L or click it)
- Type about:config and press enter
- Click I'll be careful, I promise!
- in the Filter box, type browser.download.dir
- Right click the keyword.url preference below and choose Reset
