I had to enable the proper daemons and mount on the client from the actual server mount point (previously in NFSv3 I could mount a symbolic link which pointed to the actual disk--now with NFSv4 I couldn't do that, but it's OK) but it worked! After I got my home dir to mount under NFSv4 I went into Xorg and fired up Firefox (with a brand new profile just to be on the safe side) and BOOM! Everything works that Firefox relies on SQLite for (bookmarks, and link history). Bookmark editor as well as the <- and -> arrows show up and work now as expected. I am running 8.4-STABLE as of Aug 6th on my server (it will be upgraded to 9.2-STABLE once I can find the time) and the client is 9.2-BETA2 just for the record. So it seems that 8.x and 9.x talk to each other just fine. I have not noticed anything odd performancewise--just that when I "umount" the directory it seems to "think about it" for 10-15 seconds before doing it. I don't know if that's just the "way it is" or if I can configure something more fine-tuned. However, I'm just happy--actually ecstatic--that it's working. That was my last missing link (no pun intended) to letting the "users" in the house on this new machine as their new desktop. Can't have FF broken! :) Thanks all for your responses and help. -jr
