Comment 2 for bug 120781

I wish you would rethink this response. We have done some extensive testing on this problem (probably over 20 hrs all told) and have found that if we use GDM to start GNOME it causes Firefox to behave erratically when launched from an icon. From the same session but just opening a terminal and launching firefox causes firefox to work with no problems. Also we found that if we don't use GDM to start GNOME but instead use startx we don't see the problem in either case. It seems that something in being set differently when using GDM to start GNOME. Also, there seem to be quite a few bugs that mention Firefox hanging with flash, I'm wondering if these are all related.
