First off, this problem happens on a kubuntu 0804 machine on kde3. However, their forum has not thrown up anything yet, so I am trying to leech the knowledgeable Arch crowd
Problem:
Firefox comes up after two minutes after clicking on the icon but freezes immediately.
Attempted solutions:
Purged and reinstalled - no joy
Deleted ~/.mozilla - no joy
Purged, reinstalled and deleted ~/.mozilla - no joy
Started firefox in safe mode - no joy
Disabled IPv6 - no joy
Further probing:
installed strace and started from the command line, start hangs with message:
connect(36, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(16001), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16
Further attempted solutions:
Checked /etc/hosts - all clear
Checked /etc/resolv.conf - all clear
Am using Seamonkey instead but would prefer to get back to firefox but heck, this thing beats me!

What happens if you ping 127.0.0.1?

markus@markus-desktop:~$ ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4009ms
Perhaps the /etc/hosts is dodgy after all?
markus@markus-desktop:~$ cat /etc/hosts
#127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.0.1.1 markus-desktop
127.0.0.1 localhost markus-desktop markus
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

do you have a firewall ?
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

uwf was installed - uninstalled it but still cannot ping localhost. Am googling as to what might be the cause of this...

Sounds like the loop back interface may not be up. Try "ifconfig lo".

Bullseye - it wasn't listed in /etc/nework/interfaces. Just added it and rebooted (sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't do anything, suppose I should have tried a sudo ifup lo as well...).
AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING!!!
Thanks a bunch
