Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Using Ubuntu 8.04
An upgrade through the update manager of Firefox 3.0b5 to 3.0rc1 on 30 May 2008 causes Firefox to hang while initially loading and also frequently while browsing for minutes at a time.
Removing all plugins, ~/.mozilla had no effect, nor did removing and reinstalling firefox. Firefox 2 works fine.
Attached is output from 'strace firefox-3.0', highlight below which seems to be a stall when trying to contact localhost?? After strace prints the last line, Firefox hangs for a while then continues, strace spewing out more output. The same line dealing with sin_addr etc is always what gets displayed when firefox hangs.

Try using a new profile and see if it helps any. Instructions on how to
do this properly is at: https:/
Changed Summary to better relate to problem. I also added likely-sup tag
because i remember seeing this bug a few times since ~beta release. If i
recall correctly it was caused by bad profile but i dont remember exactly.
