Firefox no more starts if called by the gnome3 dashboard after having applied all updates this morning

[Joachim Backes]

Hi testers,

after having applied all most recent F18 updates this morning, it's no
more possible to start firefox by the gnome3 dashboard. It seems it dies
immediately after start.

I found out that firefox still runs normally if started inside a
terminal. So I edited the firefox dashboard entry with alacarte and set
the type to "Application in terminal". This is a workaround (but now I
get an additional terminal if firefox is started).

Remark: All other apps called by the dashboard still run normally.

Q: 1. Anybody sees this too?
   2. Who could be the culprit?

Kind regards
