Hi, another blog entry mentioning the firefox vs. NFS problems:
https://blogs.cs.umbc.edu/willm1/2009/02/08/firefox-3-over-nfs-sucks/ with just another script to work around them: https://blogs.cs.umbc.edu/willm1/2009/02/08/firefox-3-over-nfs-sucks/#comment-5 > > - The tendency for iceweasel to have unaccessible bookmarks and history > > after a "crash" is quite new, on older systems iceweasel just refuses > > to > > start. > > yup, places.sqlite is used since iceweasel3 That's not what I meant. The problems mostly seen by me concern left over lock files preventing iceweasel from starting. Only recently have I personally seen iceweasel refusing to open bookmarks or history. In other words, the problems seem to get worse with newer iceweasel (sub-)versions. Anyway, for schools I recommend turning off the history and disabling search-as-you-type (at least for terminal servers), which reduces the probability of encountering the problems in this bug report.
