See it the first time. My 13.1 test VM also didn't complain. The
messages seem to come from GConf or D-BUS, actually Firefox is just
using the GConf API and if it reacts like this I have no real idea what
to look at at the Mozilla code side. I'm also not directly aware of any
upstream changes which could cause this.
In short: I have no idea what this is about and it would probably be
nice to have input from Gnome guys.
