Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1287

Unfortunatelly, I've found, that after updating firejail yesterday my firefox started to crash on random events like calling context menu (RMB), moving backwards in history (Alt+⇐).
A bit of debugging showed that if I comment out ipc-namespace crashes disappears.
Also I've noticed, that previously (at the point where all worked) I was using firejail at the state of a1dde3456c, but as I see, ipc-namespace was added in the profile in 4f238b75de (half-a-month before even that), so, I'm bit surprised, how can it brake anything.

Moreover, the commits after a1dde345 looks like unrelated (regarding to commit messages) to the problem.
Maybe, it is some newly introduced feature in the code, and maybe it is somehow related to some updated system libraries.

Anyway, as I said, disabling ipc-namespace solves the crashes, and uncommenting it back - also returns crashes.

I'd like to debug it more properly if you'll help me with directions :)

P.S. Firefox's crash looks like that:

(firefox:8): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 4854 error_code 2 request_code 130 (unknown) minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Parent is shutting down, bye...

My apologies, this is the third program that I've added ipc-namespace thats causing issues. Its weird though because I've not actually been able to reproduce any of these issues. @netblue30 can you shed any light as to why ipc-namespace would work for some and not others?

Moreover, as I said, it worked even on my host, until yesterday's system update (a part of which was firejail update) :)
