No problem :)
It's quite easy to do, just install sqlite3 using apt-get/aptitude/synaptic.
Next, execute the sqlite vacuum command on each database (after closing
you browser)
The following command will do this for all sqlite databases you might have
in there (different profiles).

for f in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/*.sqlite; do sqlite3 $f 'VACUUM;'; done

You might need to change the path for iceweasel, I'm not on my Debian box
right now.
If I remember correctly, this is done automatically once in a while
starting with 3.5 or 3.6.
Yes, I experienced this problem as well, a lot of people did I guess,
perhaps you can put this in a small script and run it as a cronjob or when
you log on.

Kind regards,
Steven

Thanks, Steven. What I meant by `non-negligible influence' is that I
executed the whole on my sqlite files, and that the FF process then
goes faster for starting & closing. Yes, I'm going to put this as a
cronjob.
