hello,

recently i got some problems with firefox.
i' using version 0.8_4 from ports section.

i'm running an 5-current build today

FreeBSD x30.kicks-ass.org 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #1: Wed Mar 10 09:15:53 CET 2004     sbeam at x30.kicks-ass.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MY_KERNEL  i386


if i start firefox for the first time it hangs.


x30:/usr/home/sbeam$ ps ax|grep fire
  737  ??  S      0:00.02 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/lib/mozilla-1.6/run-mo
  749  ??  S      0:11.10 /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/lib/mozilla-1.6/firefox-bin

after kill -9 of the process and restarting it, everything is fine.

this problem accures every time after a i reboot, i think it first occured with 0.8_4 
the initial 0.8 was ok.


do you have some ideas?

thanx for your help.

the two had the following record: the Vietnam War, Watergate, double-
digit inflation, fuel and energy shortages, bankrupt airlines, and the
8-cent postcard.  The second was responsible for such things as the
transistor, the solar cell, lasers, synthetic crystals, high fidelity
stereo recording, sound motion pictures, radio astronomy, negative
feedback, magnetic tape, magnetic "bubbles", electronic switching
systems, microwave radio and TV relay systems, information theory, the
first electrical digital computer, and the first communications
satellite.  Guess which one got to tell the other how to run the
telephone business?
