606416 - Sporadic abort inside of MOZ_gdk_display_close [@ linux-gate.so@0x424 ] when closing Firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 576933

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Frequently when I quit Firefox, I get a crash report along the lines of:
 bp-2b0b7ade-0be5-4c32-ac33-ed37c2101021

I hit this about a few times a week.  I'm pretty sure I've hit it when closing Thunderbird 3.1, too.

No idea what causes it, but I'm apparently not alone, based on clicking "Details" on my crash report.  (A lot of mentions of "Closing firefox" etc.)

The crash report mentions:
> App Notes 	X_CloseDevice: XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter); 9 requests ago

er, s/crash/abort/ -- looks like we're dying with a NS_RUNTIMEABORT inside of X11Error.
