This is a bad idea nowadays when users have graphical logins. Any problem with NFS means their system becomes unusable. Better to have a local home and NFS mount the subdirectories (or more likely, NFS-mount one directory and symlink the various subdirectories to it).
Well, I would say that unavailability of the files beneith one's home directory usually makes one's system very unusable as well. What do you do after login? Play xpat2 (not possible, has been removed from openSUSE... ;-))? I would never trade the convenience of an NFS-based home against the minimal chance that I want to log in and the NFS server ain't there in this moment... Then I could not work anyhow, the server problem has to be fixed first. Oh, and concerning the OP: I don't know what his problem is concerning firefox and it's SQLite database on NFS file systems. We have this here and have never encountered any problems or errors. Locking over NFS works; we have 2010 and this ain't NFSv2-over-UDP any more.
