83680 - Mozilla takes forever to start if Flash plugin is readable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58339

Description

[mozilla]

I recently installed the Flash plugins for my copy of Mozilla. However, now
Mozilla takes *forever* (45 seconds) to display the inital Profile Selection,
when normally it takes about 3.  If I chmod 000 the Flash plugins, it goes back
to normal. I ran strace on the mozilla process, and here is the output: 

read(3, "/usr/bin/md5sum\n", 128)       = 16
read(3, 0xbfffec7c, 128)                = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
wait4(-1, [WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0], WNOHANG, NULL) = 601
wait4(-1, 0xbfffe8f8, WNOHANG, NULL)    = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
sigreturn()                             = ? (mask now [])
read(3, "", 128)                        = 0
close(3)                                = 0

rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x806b7d8, [], 0x4000000}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {0x806b7d8, [], 0x4000000}, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8)  = 0

stat64(0x80caeac, 0xbfffef1c)           = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [INT CHLD], [], 8) = 0
fork()                                  = 602
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x806b7d8, [], 0x4000000}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
wait4(-1,

It sits here for at least 40 seconds. If I wait, then everything works fine.
(the delay only happens when I open it). I am using the Flash Player 5 plugins
from Feb 15, 2001.

Just curious, do you have anything playing music/sounds at the same time?
If so, you might be seeing bug 58339.
