Details

Running logalloc with the suggested command from the README:
MALLOC_LOG=3 firefox 3>&1 1>&2 | gzip -c > log.gz
causes most content to not load. Also it breaks Alt-menus and many other things it appears. The browser window does open, and you can create and switch tabs (though nothing loads). The log in log.gz does show allocations, so logalloc is active.

This appears to only happen if the output is sent to a numeric FD; direct output to a logfile works

The README was written well before the sandbox was tightened. Try disabling the sandbox and see if it works.
