Are you using Arch Linux?

This is a problem with newer versions of GTK3 library. We have a fix on mainline, or you can still use 0.9.46 and modify some of your profile files in /etc/firejail directory. As root user, open /etc/firejail/firefox.profile file in a text editor and comment out ipc-namespace line (add a #, like this: 3d828459a1).

There are some other programs with the same problem. The fix is the same for all of them: comment out ipc-namespace in the profile file. I'll have a new release out shortly.

No, I'm using Xubuntu 16.04. Commenting ipc-namespace fixed my issue. Waiting for the new release, thank you.
