[Bug 269188] Re: Extreme slowness, "Firefox is already running" error for >3 users launching Firefox in LTSP environment

[Jordan Erickson]

Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453704#c9  -
regarding the use of /dev/random and entropy running out, causing all
other entropy-consuming applications (such as other instances of FF3
creating and/or loading profiles) to hang and wait for entropy to build
back up - which is presumably minimal on LTSP servers, as there is
usually no local input events, as well as presumably little/no random
input from LTSP clients (other than possibly network related, which I
have been told is of minimal influence to gathering entropy compared to
local input events).

There is a proposed workaround I have that I'll be testing tomorrow.
I'll post my results.
