Can you check the current git tree, and see if we've fixed it for you.
There are several fixes there, one being the (currently) topmost
commit 76f6777c9cc0 ("pipe: Fix iteration end check in
fuse_dev_splice_write()").

I _just_ pushed out that one, so check that you get it - it sometimes
takes a couple of minutes for the public-facing git servers to mirror
out. I doubt that's the one that would fix firefox, but still..
