The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 35 error_code 168 request_code 148 minor_code 2)
  (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 t the wolfemails.net
2. click login

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

Yo I can confirm this (although I can't change the bug's state ;-) ),

I get the same error. It's too strange; While both, my desktop and my Thinkpad run Gentoo, I do only get this error on my desktop. Abviously it's got to do with some  packages on the desktop which are more up to date. Any ideas which could be relevant?

It's a real showstopper as there are a great number pages where Firefox does now (repeatably) crashes. 
We seem to be getting somewhere: I rebuilt Firefox with the DEBUG use flag. Just before it crashes I get this error log:

Reading this I unmerged the flash plugin and retried wolemails.net and (ta ta taaaa): it works.
And before I forget: This is repeatable. When I remerge the flash plugin ("emerge net-www/netscape-flash") it will crash again 8-(
Are you using a 16bit display? I've heard reports that Flash doesn't work in 16-bit mode with some Xorg servers.
Yeah, I'm using the 16-bit mode. 
Hmm, how did you come to know that?
Thanks!
Try 24-bit mode and see if that makes the problem go away
Actually, see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=135973#c11
Try setting environment variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 and see if *that* makes the bug go away.
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I've checked both solutions and both work. Running in 24-bit mode fixes it as well as still running a 16-bit mode and setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS. 

Many thanks!

We can work around this with a wrapper script but that's only a temporary solution because we will want to use these ARGB visuals soon.
