Great news, my troubled ubuntu install is in work. So I can't check it right away Will do that on Monday. But, I remember that I was trying to connect to the localhost to configure cups. I couldn't connect.

I think we've found what caused the delay! now well does anybody know the cause of the cause by which i mean what disabled it in the first place? I for one didn't tamper with it so something must have changed it. in that case, obviously, we'd need to mark this as resolved and open a new bug against whatever package disabled lo. any clues? ** Summary changed: - Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min, gtk-damaged? + Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min -- Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231384 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231384 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I posted to this bug because I have the same behavior in firefox as the original reporter. If another bug should be opened against all of those applications then I can do that, but I didnt want to open a duplicate bug if they could both be solved by the same fix.

I got intrepid by upgrading my hardy installation that I have had since last September so it is definitely not a clean hardy install. However, I use ubuntu packages for almost all of my programs; I dont compile my own libraries or anything like that. My firefox 3 is not from ubuntu, though I do use the nightly builds of it provided and compiled by mozilla. I have never had any problems with them before and the firefox-3.0 provided in the ubuntu package has the same problems as well for me. I thought it might be some sort of gtk issue due to the other programs that show the same symptoms, but I have some programs that use gtk that work perfectly fine such as the game pioneers. So Im still at a loss as to what it could be. Thats all I can think of for now though if I come across anything else or if you need any other information Ill be happy to post it. you are talking about slow start of helper applications, while this bug is about slow start of firefox itself.

Does starting firefox from terminal change how long it takes?? Can you please list all your extensions and themes that you are running also please disable firestarter (its onlya GUI to iptables) so it wont affect your settings atleast it shouldnt and see if firefox than loads faster.
