Download a tar.bz2 and install daily, and it has had similar problems for a while now. At first it was intermittent, and starting and stopping X (I run LXDE, using startx from multiuser), or running strace on it, would resolve the issue. But it got worse over time. I tried the chromium browser, and just starting it, and then closing it the moment the little x in the corner became available solves the issue *every* time. I assume there is a library that firefox needs that isn't available until chromium runs and loads it. You could try the same. I am not sure where the problem is. The strace seems to show that it is waiting for something that never returns. A little ray of hope lately is that it is becoming intermittent again. _______________________________________________

Does chrome then start successfully after you exit firefox? I just had a recollection that part of the vaapi stack in mesa was removed because of patent issues. Could that be a problem for chrome? If you start it in a terminal as /usr/bin/chrome are there any error messages? If you run strace /usr/bin/chrome in a terminal, does it hang, and is there anything obvious about why it is hanging if it does? _______________________________________________
