Firefox24 segfault on startup (vs Gslice/glib)

[ML <mathieu%lubrano.at@localhost>]

Hi,

Firefox 24 seems broken: I have a fresh install (i386, v6.1.5), X11 and other apps works well but Firefox won't start.

I don't know what I may have missed, but here is how to make it work here...

Issue:
$ firefox24

(process:1752): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

(firefox:1752): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


Solution:
$ export GSLICE=always-malloc
$ firefox24

(process:2938): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
<The internet is fixed now>

According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117#c88 it's due to Gslice with glib versions => 2.35 (current version here = glib2-2.40.0).

(no PR sent).

Bye,
Mathieu Lubrano.
