That's not what the glib code suggests. That error (sys_page_size == 0) happens because the slice allocator is *not* initialized. If it was initialized, sys_page_size would be set (it is set in g_slice_init_nomessage). -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
