www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r2 It doesn't touch the disk nor CPU. Idle time percentage of the system is 97%. This happens when I pull out the network cable. It looks like DNS lookup. However the start page is selected to be blank. I don't know if it's caused by Firefox or some DNS resolution craze in the system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The same for me - other programs (e.g. vmware-workstation) seem to be affected by the same problem - they take FOREVER to start. This definitely looks as a DNS problem. emerge info: Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X X509 a52 aac alsa apache2 apm avi bash-completion bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr chroot crypt cscope ctype cups curl curlwrappers dba dga dvd dvdr eds emboss encode fbcon ffmpeg flash foomaticdb ftp gd gif gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile iconv ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg lcms libg++ libwww mad mmap mmx mozilla mp3 mpeg ncurses network nls nptl ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png posix postgres python quicktime readline session sockets socks5 sse ssl sysvipc tcpd tetex threads tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode utf8 v4l vcd vorbis win32codecs wmf xine xml xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
