Hello. For years I've had my home on an NFSv3 server. Finally I decided to move to NFSv4. Now the following happens every now and then (let's say, 1 out of 5 times I launch it): _ FireFox is closed (no process running); _ I open FireFox and, while it works, a red message appears saying: "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem"; _ I can close FireFox, but I'll have to wait for a while to reopen it, or I'll get the "Firefox is already running but not responding" window. _ After a while I can open it again with no warning. Nothing to really worry about, but I'm curious (and would like to be sure no latent problem is there). Of course I beleive the reference to "security software" does not apply to UNIX systems; I don't think anything is accessing FF files either. What should I check? bye & Thanks in advance av.
