Ok, so so far we've had:
1) gogole-chrome
2) firefox
3) mysql

and 3 different people reporting this at least.

Google-chrome is complicated because it has many state files and I
haven't narrowed down which one got corrupted.
In your firefox example, did you find what corruption you got in that
file, or was it just truncated?

For mysql, I got:
InnoDB: Page directory corruption: infimum not pointed to
140708 11:53:58  InnoDB: Page dump in ascii and hex (16384 bytes):
 len 16384; hex 00000000(16KB of 0's).
