Odd, I couldn't get the same build to crash w/o flash, then w/ flash, on the
test URL, and using my "test" profile.  I then tried peeling off the URL
components to load just http://www.ew.com/ and crashed hard.  This appeared on
my unredirected stderr:

Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  serial 202 error_code 3 request_code 12 minor_code 0

My original crashes were running with stderr redirected, so I don't know whether
this spew reproduces with the crash.  Testers, try the main ew.com page.

Smells like flash, which was reenabled when I crashed on the main ew.com page. 
Just now, I moved all libflashplayer.so files aside, reran with no problem on
the main page or the test URL for this bug, then restored the plugins to the
plugins directories, re-ran, loaded http://www.ew.com/ ok, but crashed with the
same gdk error on the news page (this bug's test URL).

Reassigning, sorry if this is a MacroMedia bug, not a Mozilla bug.

You should try the flash 6 beta for Linux: it has whiter teeth and better X
robustness.

Sounds like bug 173938 which is a regression from bug 52334. If a plugin is
inside an IFRAME, we destroy the IFRAME widget first and crash on Linux and
assert in Win32 debug builds. :(
