It crashes:
$ firefox
(process:647): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ firefox --version
(process:702): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed
Mozilla Firefox 21.0

If I start it in safe-mode it crashes as well:
$ firefox -safe-mode
(process:706): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I additionally created a new empty profile and the problem occurs there too.
