Description James 2012-05-28 02:16:19 UTC

If I run firefox with an active Internet connection, it starts in about 1 second. If I run firefox without an Internet connection, but with an active network connection, it takes 33 seconds to start. The start page is blank and updates are disabled so I would expect no network activity at startup.

This also affects Thunderbird.

Version info:
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 12.0
Release     : 1.fc16

Yes, I have seen it too, it's not restricted to firefox only. I had the same problems with mc for instance.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2012-08-06 14:18:02 UTC

Hm, I'm unable to reproduce. Can you please attach output of "ifconfig" a "iwconfig" when firefox fails to start quickly? It looks like a special network state, maybe DNS failure or so.

Comment 3 James 2012-08-08 23:04:35 UTC

I can't reproduce this anymore so perhaps other updates have fixed it.

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2012-08-09 04:29:11 UTC

Okay, thanks for the update.
