Hi Fezzan - and welcome to the Forum. 

Did you measure the download speed with FF using a download speed-checker?  If so, the good speed checkers download many files simultaneously in order to saturate your bandwidth and get a worst case value.  As I understand it, the Package Manager, in contrast, typically downloads all the required sub-files packaged into a single file (as tar does), so your bandwidth is not being saturated.
