Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304370

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[clearbeast]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) KHTML/3.3.2 (like Gecko)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050110 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-2)

While viewing http://www.theregister.co.uk, the page begins to load, but  
crashes ~2 sec. later.  The following is the feedback that I receive. 
 
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.   
This probably reflects a bug in the program.   
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.   
  (Details: serial 90 error_code 8 request_code 145 minor_code 3)   
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;   
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.   
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line   
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful   
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)   
   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.theregister.co.uk 
2.  
3.  
  
Actual Results:  
firefox crashed and feedback details were left (The program 'Gecko' received 
an X Window System error.)   

Expected Results:  
viewed the page normally without crashing  

- bug occurs using any theme, default included.  
- using X.Org Server   
  Vendor Release Number: 60,801,099  
  Version Number: 11.0

Possible dupe of Bug 189761? Do you have Flash installed?
