Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jacques-Henri Jourdan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090803 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090803 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5.2

When opening this address with firefox 3.0.x under linux, Firefox crashes with the following message :

The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2732 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (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.)

It seems that it is caused by the big gif background image with a big transparent area.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Firefox 3.0.13 under Ubuntu (it does not crash under Windows)
2. Go to the address http://protestantismeetimages.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=3
3.
Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
Display the image.
