   Note: the recently updated putty 0.63 also gives a similar error

     /home/robert% putty
     /home/robert/.gtkrc-2.0:2: Unable to find include file:
     ".gtkrc-2.0-scrollbar_cog"
     Fontconfig warning: "/usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line
     14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
     /home/robert%

   but does start and run.
   The firefox error

     /home/robert% firefox
     (process:1418): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
     `sys_page_size == 0' failed

   indicates the "GLib-CRITICAL" is the critical error, however I am still
   curious about the
   Unable to find include file: ".gtkrc-2.0-scrollbar_cog"
   error.

     Then if you can grab a backtrace in gdb when Firefox crashes, that
     will
     help.  While this message is critical, it should not trigger a
     termination.

   Any system info that might be involved would also help. uname -a,
   /etc/make/conf, /etc/src.conf, config changes from GENERIC, loader and
   sysctl mods.
