It seems to be correct:

  $ strings /proc/$(pidof firefox-bin)/environ | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-EWlTl35qa5,guid=e8bafb95e95f867331347ee751861a08
  $ env | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
  DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-EWlTl35qa5,guid=e8bafb95e95f867331347ee751861a08

Should I install the libglib2.0-bin package?
