I am running homes via nfs since ages and neither firefox3.0, nor
all the iceweasel variants did ever refused to start. So there must

and unexpected yesterday firefox refused the described procedure.
With no tricks iceweasel is unusable!

Linking ~/.mozilla dir from a local fs helps but ist not a solution!
