Lonnie,
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an
issue? Can this bug report now be closed?
If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in
approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Firefox fails to launch if Network Connections Aren't Established
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've noticed lately that I've have had trouble launching firefox
after start-up/login, and I think it might be do to the fact that I'm
often changing network settings right before launching it.
For example, upon starting and logging into Ubuntu, I often have to
change the LAN that eth0 defaults to, and directly after doing this
(with the connection manager), I'll launch firefox. It seems that
since I'm launching firefox at a time that the network settings having
completely established connection, it is causing Firefox not to launch
at all.
In the past, I would expect it to perhaps launch more slowly, but
lately (like I said) it doesn't launch at all (graphically) under
these types of circumstances, yet in system monitor I'll see it listed
there as a process that has no graphical representation on my desktop.
After killing that hung process, I am then able to launch it.
I've always wished that firefox would launch completely BEFORE polling
for its internet connection settings. I've always despised it
launching slow due to it not being able to find an internet
connection. And now that I'm having issues with it not launching at
all, (due to similar circumstances), I'm now proposing that firefox be
coded so that it doesn't check for an internet connection before
launching! I believe the GUI should launch rather immediately, and
completely, before performing any of its connection probing.
I digress, additionally, I'd like it to be more responsively aware of
networking changes made during a session. It is frustrating when I
change to another network (using connection manager) and it takes
firefox a while (after the new network connection is established) to
become aware that it is now operating on a different IP with a
different subnet.
