926331 - Slow startup of TB version 24.0 in Linux Mint 15 x86_64

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[tempo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130911155223

Steps to reproduce:

Startup of TB 24.0 has been slow on my Linux Mint 15 x86_64 setup since recent updates.



Actual results:

Startup takes about 8 seconds.
It seems to be related to a broken link which shows in the default .thunderbird folder. The link shows: target 127.0.1.1: +5684 does not exist.
Trashing this link just recreates it with a different +**** number.


Expected results:

Startup used to be virtually immediate.

Please define in terms of numbers - how many seconds is slow, and how many seconds under the old release was fast.

I don't know what this means. how is this a link, and where *exactly* is it?

(continuing after finger check)

how many pop accounts?

'Fast' was about 3 seconds, 'slow' was 8-10 seconds. I have 5 pop accounts.

Now solved - after changing preferences/advanced/Network&Disk space/connection from 'auto-detect proxy settings' to 'no proxy' startup improved to what I was used to of 3-4 seconds. Must have been accidentally selected when I did a clean install.

So, not a bug.

Thanks for your interest
