I get the same bug in: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009080315 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.13
After reading the above and testing out various bits and pieces I can confirm it is related to sqlite locks over NFS. I have not tested with NFSv4 and still use NFSv3 primarily on my network. To reproduce: 1: Log in on a computer with a NFS /home and start Firefox. 2: Reproduce a power fail or a situation where you hard reboot (Power off) 3: Power back on, log in and start Firefox. Firefox behaves as described above with missing bookmarks, unusable address bar etc. To recover: Close Firefox and either reboot your server or restart nfs file locking on the server (this is not something any regular user is able to do) It is debatable if NFS or Firefox is to blame but in my opinion - Firefox should have better ways of utilising sqlite and its file locking... Firefox really should detect that its not running and that the sqlite database is locked and attempt to do something about it. -- firefox-3.0 breaks with NFS home directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
