Title:
extremly slow startup of firefox if a nfs-share is not reachable
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in firefox-3.0 package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox needs a few minutes for startup if a mounted filesystem is not
reachable (i.e. a nfs-share).
The "/usr/bin/firefox" wrapper-script uses "/bin/pwd" to gather the current
working directory.

The last fstat is blocking for a long time - replacing "/bin/pwd" by
the shell-builtin "pwd" solves the problem.
