Hello there! The bug reported here is not only valid for Ubuntu 16.04
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 in an old desktop PC (32 bits). Everything worked fine until the latest update. Now I cannot start Firefox, not even with "-safe-mode". What I get is: ----- OLDEST-ubuntu:~> firefox -safe-mode (firefox:2609): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed (firefox:2609): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed (firefox:2609): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed (firefox:2609): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 2644 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...
