   Gentlemen, Ladies:

# firefox

(process:1754): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size =

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The problem is repeatable and occurs when starting FireFox in an Xwindow.
Before the FireFox Xwindow opens, the parent Xwindow displays the GLib-CRITICAL
message
on the command line, then the first panel of FireFox will display in a new child
 Xwindow
and apparently remains stable, but any attempt to browse to another webpage caus
es a
segmentation fault followed by a core dump.

   This is very frustrating!  Do you have any suggestions regarding a fix?
