After emerge mozilla-firefox (version 2.0.0.4) firefox starts very slow when there is a networkconnection which can handles DNS-requests, but doesnot allow outgoing HTTP-traffic. If there a proxy services available on the network and you set the proxy settings in firefox, this problem doesn't appear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a network which provide DNS-services, but doesn't allow direct HTTP access to the outside world (Internet) 2. Start firefox, configured with direct access to the internet (no proxy!) Actual Results: The startup of firefox takes up to 10 minutes to start Expected Results: Firefox had to start directly!
