Now rpcinfo -p on server side shows :

And everything is working as expected.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Hi,
Description :
When firefox3 is launched, whether a profile 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 successfully
when pushed. Then while browsing from this web page, back and forward
buttons stay greyed. URL bar is not usable, as Enter (Return) key is not
functional, neither the green arrow is clickable. It has just no effect.
Same behavior when firefox is launched in "safe-mode".
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 as expected.
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, with Firefox-3.0 v3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
* Debian Etch up-to-date on server side.
The problem appeared after upgrading user's NFS+LDAP server from Debian
- Woody 3.1 to Debian Etch 4.0. I could isolate this problem as everything
+ Sarge 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 :

100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper

100021 3 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 latest 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 unusable...
