Following the link to the gnome bugzilla -- I ran across a tolerable workaround for the moment: If G_SLICE=always-malloc is in the environment, then it will start. It still complains, but it starts and appears to work (so far).
This makes it consume more CPU (and Lord knows it already consumes enough CPU), but it does allow Thunderbird to start - which is a good thing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160569 Title: [regression] GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: see screenshot for more detailes ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: firefox 19.0.2+build1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-14.24-generic 3.8.4 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-14-generic x86_64 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: BuildID: 20130308124351 CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
