Bug in GLib environment

[schollsky]

Hi all,

when starting firefox from terminal, the output given is

$ firefox

(process:3083): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed
Running global cleanup code from study base classes.

Firefox version is 23.0; kernel version is 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 16:35:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux; OS installed is XUbuntu 13.04.

This glib error can also be found in .xsession-errors:
