Firefox crashing reading movies

[mcglnx]

Binary package hint: firefox

For example movies on Apple website.

If Firefox cannot read a file it should not attempt to do so.
If a plugin crahses, Firefox should be resillent enough to kill the plugin and continue his work.

Here is the output:

~$ firefox
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 47 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 14)
  (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.)

we already have a different bug for the specific crash (though i don't know the number). So i will take this as a feature enhancement bug about "support running all plugins out of process".

That's won't fix as it won't happen in firefox 3 for sure. Maybe in mozilla 2 we will see this, but thats too far away to consider this an active bug.

Thanks,
