jemalloc is updated in base to 5.0 on Jun 15. The result is that firefox
crashes minutes after startup, or crashes when doing a measurement in
about:memory.
The error is:

<jemalloc>: jemalloc_ctl.c:1212: Failed assertion: "node->nchildren > 0"

The reason is that malloc ctl stats.arenas.0.metadata.allocated is renamed =
to
stats.arenas.0.internal (see
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/a0dd3a4483e2e72ee80e70424a6522f=
873f2c7ff
and
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/commit/751f2c332d91209c5ae3234fa444a20=
850067960),
while firefox is still checking the old malloc ctl without checking the ret=
urn
value of mallctlnametomib.

One temporary fix is modifying firefox binary and updating the string. Fire=
fox
should be patched for this.
