We had similar symptoms under Linux with home dirs on Gluster or Ceph
mounts. We traced the hangs back to FF using fsync() a lot, which is
very slow on such shares. As a workaround, we preload a small library
that changes all fsync() calls to much faster fdatasync().

Since customers were still complaining about FF being slow, we have now
gone to non-ESR, still with that library preloaded. 56ff are such a lot
faster that customers are happy again.
