I jumped to premature conclusions, I have no evidence this is this bug what's causing my FF28 to crash. I just saw the same error message in FF as in Thunderbird and they seem to crash in a similar fashion and comment 3 was consistent with my experience. See comment 27, Karl Tomlinson seems to know what he is talking about. My glib is not built with G_DISABLE_CHECKS and so according to Karl, should be a no-op, a 'do nothing'-instruction. I've never seen a crash on an empty startup. Sorry for spreading confusion. Firefox does have some major problem on Linux, just guess this bug is not the root cause. Perhaps bug 920200 as suggested by comment 36, tho the last word over there is 'it shouldn't really happen'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160569 Title: [regression] GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1160569/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
