Firefox won't start under compiz fusion

[waterpie]

Binary package hint: firefox

I am not sure if it is a firefox, X system or fusion bug.

When I try to run firefox under kubuntu 7.10, when compiz fusion is running, firefox
won't start. It shows the dialog to select the profile I want, and when I choose one and tell it to load, it crashes
with:
"
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 4279 error_code 3 request_code 20 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.)
"
When I run "firefox --sync" it starts ok, with no message at all. This seems to be an ok workaround,
but I suppose most users start firefox without "-sync", and suddenly not being able to start the web browser
is a big turn off.

The option "firefox menu fix" in fusion's workarounds plugin, doesn't do any difference.

I have installed every update in kubuntu 7.10

Firefox in kubuntu 7.10 under compiz fusion, won't start without the "--sync" flag.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/
