In recent builds I have been experiencing very long startup times for Minefield. This happens every time I try to open it, although it does eventually load.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to Start Minefield.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Minefield hangs and takes in excess of a minute to fully load.

Expected Results:  
Loaded swiftly as normal.

I have Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4 installed and have tried disabling it and all of my plugins in succession, with no success.

There has also been a post made in the Mozillazine forums: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=648473 detailing the issue, although few not everybody seems to be experiencing it.

Having looked at the Activity Monitor, this was caused by a stuck Growl process on OS X. Should have thought of that before!
