OK, gnome-shell + firefox + nfsv4 = JUST DOESN'T WORK.

I switched to glusterfs, and with a few tweaks, it rocks! (Tweaks = need 
"features/posix-locks" in glusterfsd configs, and do the client mounts 
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and not in /etc/fstab.)

My firefox freezes are gone. Firefox has stopped losing my authenticated 
sessions (cookies.sqlite). The system boots much faster.

I hope this helps others in a similar situation!
