John,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately running with the
-ProfileManager flag doesn't help; firefox hangs at exactly the same
place:
connect(24, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(16001),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16
before any windows are created, Profile Manager included. Eventually
after a couple minutes of hanging the 'Choose User Profile' window
appears.
Its as though firefox is waiting for a net connection to localhost which
times-out, then continues loading/processing. That it tries to connect
to localhost, but apparently doesn't need the connection as it works for
a bit until the next time a connection is tried, seems odd. Netstat's
output of the port used is below
>netstat -anp |grep -E '16001|Proto'
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
PID/Program name
tcp 0 1 192.168.1.5:56330 127.0.0.1:16001 SYN_SENT
455/firefox
I'd add that the problem occurs on my laptop (HP pavilion dv1000) but
not desktop (custom), where firefox 3.0rc1 is working fine.
