I mention it as my FireFox 22 fails to launch as described in the bug
report after updating glib20 to version 2.36.3.
My copy of the Epiphany browser is built on libxul 17.0.7, which still
works, as does Thunderbird 17.0.7.
I had finish a system recompile of FreeBSD 9.2 i386 from stable and all
my 1166 ports on July 30th.
A quick update on July 31st became a problem after running
portsnap fetch update
portsdb -Uu
pkgdb -u
pkgdb -F
before running
portupgrade -arR
as, without having a heads up from UPDATING, I stripped my pkgdb of its
glib20 dependencies.
A few pkgdb -L and pkgdb -F s later, and I am now able to trouble shoot
the issue.
I did a portupgrade -af over the weekend, and still have the same
problem.

Yes, the bug affects FreeBSD in that I see the assertion:
(process:15045): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
`sys_page_size == 0' failed
However, Firefox starts and seems to work normally for me after
that.
I think the problem is actually
[5]https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1179554 as
described in the bug above. In this case, it does look very
Linux-specific.
Thanks, Joe. I have installed the new glib and updated all of the
dependencies (about 400 of them including libreoffice) and everything
seem to be working fine including firefox and thunderbird. I do get the
error, but almost everything runs as it should.
I can't get multimedia/handbrake to build, but I doubt that it is
related to the glib change. I've not really looked at the problem yet.
