Did you restart Mozilla after removing Xprt? It sounds like Mozilla is
still trying to open some xprt library and not finding it, thus causing
the delay.
You might also do a 'dpkg -l | grep xprt' to make sure you removed all
of the packages - there's 2 or 3 as I recall.

It seems like I have seen mention of this, but I don't use xprt myself
so I don't remember the solution. For starters, I have heard
xprt-xprintorg is better and preferable to xprt. xprt-common is needed
for both of them.
