Yesterday I updated my amd64 STABLE box to 6.2-PRERELEASE.
After the upgrade, firefox started to hang. I can reliably trigger this
my clicking on the [Manage...] button in the "Content" tab of the
preferences dialog. The same happens when trying to access some websites.
Both firefox 1.5.0.7 and 2.0 hang, which suggests something external.
I'm running a custum kernel. The only thing I added with the upgrade was:
options HWPMC_HOOKS
device hwpmc
Running a ktrace on firefox didn't give very much;

After starting firefox, I see a defunct process, that's probably a child
of firefox:
16772 v0 I 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/firefox
16776 v0 I 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lo
16780 v0 S 0:01.87 /usr/local/lib/firefox/firefox-bin
16785 v0 Z 0:00.01 <defunct>
I tried attaching gdb to a running firefox-bin, but that produced an
internal error in gdb which made it dump core. :-(
Also, when starting firefox from an xterm, it produces a warning:
GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child
process "/usr/X11R6/libexec/gconfd-2" (Invalid argument)
GConf Error: Failed to launch configuration server: Failed to execute child
process "/usr/X11R6/libexec/gconfd-2" (Invalid argument)
But I'm not sure if this is related.
During system startup I get the following message:
Nov 3 07:09:26 slackbox root: /etc/rc: WARNING: $compat5x_enable is not set pro
perly - see rc.conf(5).
But I'm not sure this is related either.
Help please? :-(
