Public bug reported:
Edgy's firefox build needs a lot more time to start than mozilla.org's.
Two examples of start/close-as-quickly-as-possible cycles (where
"firefox" is 1.99+2.0b2+dfsg-1ubuntu3, and "./firefox" is the official
2.0rc2):
$ time firefox
real 0m6.604s
user 0m4.892s
sys 0m0.336s
$ time ./firefox
real 0m3.157s
user 0m2.176s
sys 0m0.108s
In other words, Ubuntu's firefox needs twice as much time to start as
the official build. Clearly, something's very wrong here.
FYI, the official firefox is configured like this: --enable-
application=browser --enable-update-channel=release --enable-update-
packaging --enable-official-branding --disable-debug '--enable-
optimize=-Os -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -gstabs+'
--disable-tests --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --disable-
freetype2 --enable-svg --enable-canvas --enable-static --disable-shared
