You can work around this by changing the exception in paxd.conf to `pems` from `em`. However, it shouldn't be necessary to do that. Providing information upstream would be helpful, there's already an open thread: https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3980

There's a bug open about this on the paxd tracker, and I'm just going to close this in favour of that one. It's really a bug in Firefox anyway.
