firefox launches very slowly with 7.04 (feisty fawn)
Hi there
I had a perfectly good working version of Edgy on my Pentium 4 box.
I was offered the option to upgrade to Feisty Fawn (7.04), which I accepted.
Feisty downloaded and installed no problem at all and everything is fine EXCEPT that Firefox now takes about a minute to launch, either from the command line or from the icon. Once an instance of Firefox is launched, another instance will launch perfectly normally - basically, so long as I keep an instance running, I'm fine. But if I launch Firefox when it isn't running, it always takes just about a minute to launch.
No other problems with any other apps that I have found. There was no sign of this problem with the previous version.
I'm not a deep expert on Linux, but I know my way around, but I'm not sure even where to start on this one.
My home directory is mounted using NFS from another machine - this has caused trouble for me in the past - I've had to link some directories locally - but I can't think of any reason why I should have a problem now when I didn't on the previous version.
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
