Bug#607718: Firefox/Iceweasel hangs on stale NFS-Lockfile

[Michelle Konzack]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.6-3
Severity: normal
Tags: lenny,squeeze

Hello Maintainer,

my /home/ is on a NFSv4 server and mounted on all three Workstations.

If now the NFSv4 Server goes down (e.g.  shutdown,  power  failure)  and
comes back, anythin is working on the Workstations, except Iceweasel.

It hangs and I have to kill it, but there is a death instance of firefox
which can not be killed and stay on an invalid NFS-Lock.  I am not  more
able to restart Firefox/Iceweasel and have to REBOOT the Workstation.

This is a realy annoying bug and it happen to 3.5.15-1~bpo50+1 too. Also
ANY versions downloaded from original Firefox source.

Note:   Seamonkey is working (for now) and does not show this pronblem.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
    Michelle Konzack
