Firefox 32 crash on left-clicking a text field and opening about:

Since the update to Firefox 32, Firefox has been crashing on left-clicking any text field, and on opening certain urls, including about:addons . The crash is systematic. I tried creating a new profile, but it did not change anything. Not even creating a new user did change anything. The only error message that appear consistently are those:

(process:5930): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

(firefox:5930): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised

(firefox:5930): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised

(firefox:5930): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::display after class was initialised

(firefox:5930): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::default-icon after class was initialised

But they appear before the crash, and are only warnings.

I tried “firefox -safe-mode”, but the same problem was still present, so I guess it must not be due to a plugin either. Am I the only one affected? Do anyone have any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks.

Downgrading Firefox to 31 did solve the bug. I still have the error message, so they are maybe unrelated.

Okay, I tried to reinstall the 32 version, and it told me the package stored locally was corrupted. So, I guess that is where the bug came from. Downloaded again, and it now works like a charm. Sorry about the fuss.
