Yes it is a simlink to /dev/random. So what should I do to get around the issue?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strace -p $(pidof firefox-bin)
Process 2486 attached - interrupt to quit
read(11, ^C <unfinished ...>
Process 2486 detached
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /proc/$(pidof firefox-bin)/fd/11

It is a diskless Lenny booted from NFS: base system, xorg, Iceweasel 3.
After booting up, the system auto-login as a normal user at tty1, and
startx, and then load Iceweasel/Firefox.

Unfortunately and quite strangely, Iceweasel/Firefox 3.0.1 will not show up its window though we can see the process firefox-bin from top or ps command (I remotely login into the system via ssh for investigation), until we move around the mouse or strike the keyboard for several times.

Looks like something Kai Hendry (Cced) reported by mail. Try running
strace -p $(pidof firefox-bin)
My guess is that it will be stuck on a read(). There will be a number
next to this read, let's call that $i. Now, run:
ls -l /proc/$(pidof firefox-bin)/fd/$i
My guess is you'll see a symlink to /dev/random.

If that's the case, that might be an issue with nspr.
