Description of problem: When starting Firefox, I get the following error message from glib: (process:1489): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed It looks like this is being tracked upstream at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117 It looks like it is related to glib2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q glib glib2 firefox glib-1.2.10-39.fc19.x86_64 glib2-2.36.3-3.fc19.x86_64 firefox-24.0-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% reproducible - just start Firefox.

Does anyone see the crashes reported upstream? Or is that a just an error message?
Anyway, this bug should cause Thunderdbird crash which I don't see...
I applied the Fedora 19 updates today and I get this exact error with both Thunderbird and Firefox. Can you please tell me what I need to downgrade to make my desktop usable again?
Apologies for wrongly blaming it on this bug. I normally do not run Thunderbird or Firefox from the command line, this warning is still present so it was not the cause of the crashes. My problem is in fact a this one with the ibus update that came in today: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/256967/ And since there is no place for me to post the solution on that retrace page, here it is for those hitting the same issue: yum downgrade ibus-gtk2 ibus-libs ibus ibus-gtk3 ibus-setup
Same bug here: Fedora 19 x86_64 KDE. Sometimes Firefox does not start and crash with a little window that content this: 'Error de parseo XML: entidad indefinida Lugar: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul Línea 239, Columna 5: <broadcaster id="devtoolsMenuBroadcaster_DevAppMgr" ----^' In english some like "Parsing error, unidefined entity..:" Always the message error is in terminal: (process:10610): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed
I'm seeing this message every time I start firefox from the command line: $ firefox http://google.com& [2] 25624 $ (process:25624): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
