FireFox and NFSv4

Hello.
For years I've had my home on an NFSv3 server.
Finally I decided to move to NFSv4.
Now the following happens every now and then (let's say, 1 out of 5
times I launch it):
_ FireFox is closed (no process running);
_ I open FireFox and, while it works, a red message appears saying:
"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of
Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software
can cause this problem";
_ I can close FireFox, but I'll have to wait for a while to reopen it,
or I'll get the "Firefox is already running but not responding" window.
_ After a while I can open it again with no warning.
Nothing to really worry about, but I'm curious (and would like to be
sure no latent problem is there).
Of course I beleive the reference to "security software" does not apply
to UNIX systems; I don't think anything is accessing FF files either.
What should I check?
bye & Thanks in advance
av.
