Bug#626061: Another link showing the problems
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:

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.
Regards,
Erik
