Swiftfox (a Firefox variant) is taking ages to load in my Debian Lenny system.

I have been using Swiftfox on several other Linux distributions without any problem; it works flawlessly on Arch, Fedora, Gentoo (my other OSes). But it's giving me trouble in Debian Lenny. I haven't yet found any clue as to why.

Please help me shed some light on the problem. I periodically prune the Swiftfox/Firefox internal database, and I keep it up-to-date with the latest versions available.

I am confused with this problem in Debian Lenny. What should I try to troubleshoot this further?

Cheers!

Hi there. When I try to start Firefox using Process.Start and ProcessStartInfo (.NET) everything seems to work fine.
