[Bug 1203467] [NEW] firefox fails to start

[shishimaru]

Public bug reported:

Firefox sometimes stops working and can't start it again. This happens
especially when I set privacy in Facebook posts. If I try to start
Firefox from the terminal emulator, this is what I get:

~$ firefox

(process:6706): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
`sys_page_size == 0' failed


Safe mode is the same.

~$ firefox --safe-mode

(process:6706): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
`sys_page_size == 0' failed
