Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1576

I've been receiving the following type of error/warning messages when I close Firefox, they are not the only type of messages that are seen; sometimes messages pop up even when I'm still using Firefox in the sandbox...

My Firejail version is 0.9.38.10, which is as far as I know, the latest LTS version...

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, with a 4.4.0-28-generic x86_64 kernel; I get warning messages when I use the latest kernel available on my Ubuntu as well( Kernel 4.10.0-35)...

I'm going to update this as soon as I get new type of warning/error messages...

I've seen this before, however I'm pretty sure this is a general Firefox issue. It does seem to just be a warning, and not have any actual impact (older versions apparently seemed to crash).
