User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

./firefox -safe-mode --sync
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 118 error_code 8 request_code 144 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.)

This bug might be a dupe of Bug 304370.
Glyn, either way Firefox 2.0 is way too old to be using. You need to update _now_.
I have updated to the latest version and i am still seeing the same problem

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
do you still see this problem using FF 3.5 beta**, or FF 3.0 started in safe mode***?

If yes, please comment
If not, please close with resolution set to WORKSFORME or INVALID (if problem was extension or the like)

I'm not sure if it is strictly x86 arch but on 64 bit it works fine and doesn't crash (using FF 3.5 openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 Java 1.6.13 and Alpha Flash Plugin).
Resolving as WORKSFORME.  If this issue can be reproduce on Firefox 3.5, we
will reopen the bug.
