    Firefox behaving "funny" after upgrade to 13.10

    Hi all,

    Since I have upgraded to 13.10 firefox browser crashes X and kdm service to restart. Looking at /var/log/kdm.log I find the following:
    Code:
    (EE) 
    (EE) Backtrace:
    (EE) 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x3d) [0x7f20b988002d]
    (EE) 1: /usr/bin/X (0x7f20b96de000+0x1a5d99) [0x7f20b9883d99]
    (EE) 2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x7f20b87de000+0xfbb0) [0x7f20b87edbb0]
    (EE) 
    (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0
    (EE) 
    Fatal server error:
    (EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
    (EE) 
    (EE) 
    Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
             at blahblah (edited)
     for help. 
    (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
    (EE) 
    (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
    Looking at Xorg.0.log, i don't find any mention to this error. But the funniest of it all is that if I go to console mode (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and launch firefox from there with
    Code:
    firefox --display :0.0
    then firefox runs just fine and X/Kdm don't complain at all.

    I can say I've found a 'workaround' for the problem but I'd rather launch firefox from a desktop shortcut as usual.

    Any ideas, suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.
