[Bug 236306] Re: firefox 3.0rc1 hangs

[daemacles]

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.
