Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
My home directory is an NFS mount, and when Firefox-3.0 (beta 5 and RC2 tested on Hardy) doesn't already have a working configuration in ~/.mozilla, it doesn't start correctly. It opens, but the bookmarks menu is missing, and it is impossible to type anything into the location or search bars. I haven't figured out any way to fix it aside from binding a non-NFS directory to ~/.mozilla and then starting it.
As well, even if a working configuration dir is created, extensions like DownloadThemAll break when used off NFS, which seems to indicate a widespread issue with Firefox on NFS.
