6169	PulseAudio-6.0 instability in Mozila apps (placeholder)	Fernando de Oliveira	bdubbs@…	"Verified in Firefox, Seamonkey and Thunderbird.

Occurs in Fluxbox, Icewm, Openbox, LXDE, but not in XFCE.

Symptom: click in the tab bar crashes application. Trying to access menu crashes. Application is unusable.

Problem also occurs if .mozilla and .thunderbird are removed, so application is run in a fresh system.

Log:
{{{
$ env LC_ALL=C firefox

(process:552): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
'sys_page_size == 0' failed

Solution. It is necessary to remove PulseAudio-6.0 and (in my case) 5.0, then install PulseAudio-5.0. The problem id gone.
