Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Hi,
Description :
When firefox3 is launched, wheter a profil already exist or not OVER A
NFSv4 /home SHARE, the firefox window opens very small. The only working
button in the toolbar is the home button, loading home page succesfully
when pushed. Then while browsing from this webpage, back and forward
buttons stay greyed. URL bar is not usable, as Enter (Return) key is not
operable, neither the green arrow is clickable. It has just no effect.
So firefox-3.0 over NFSv4 is almost unusable.
When using a NFSv3 share for the profile, or when using firefox with a
local account and local storage, no problem at all. Everything is
working a usual.
But when over new NFSv4 shares, Firefoxv3 is not working.
Package & Linux Distro description :
* Kubuntu Hardy up-to-thisdate (2008/10/27) on client side.
* Firefox-3.0 v3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Server is an up-to-dated Debian Etch.
The problem appeared after upgrading main NFS server from Debian Sid 3.1
to Debian Etch 4.0. I could isolate this problem as everything works
well with the same Ubuntu client and NFSv3 shares and not with NFSv4
Debian Etch shares.
On the server and client sides, rpcinfo -p shows :
Server :

100021 4 tcp 33826 nlockmgr
On server, I get a lot of errors that says (dmesg) :
lockd: cannot monitor 10.10.2.1
lockd: cannot monitor 10.10.2.1
lockd: cannot monitor 10.10.2.1
....

lockd: cannot monitor 10.10.2.1
lockd: cannot monitor 10.10.2.1
lockd: cannot monitor 10.10.2.1
Seems like a NFS issue that has direct influence over the lastest
Firefox v3. (No problem with Firefox v2.)
Hope you can help with this soon,
I'm sorry this might be a NFS configuration problem on client side, but
from now it has a direct and extremly painfull influence over Firefox v3
as it remains unsuable...
