[edgy] firefox crashes

[pépère]

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox crashes just after I run it.
Here is the message on the terminal

** Message: plugin_get_value 1 (1)

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 146 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.)

Thanks for your bug report. Could you please try to obtain a
backtrace by following the instructions on
       http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash.
This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.
Can you also try removing flashplugin from FF and see if it still crashes?

@pépère

Please, could you open a terminal and write:

sudo dpkg -l | grep flash

Also, could you open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the line:
 DefaultDepth 16
by:
 DefaultDepth 24

then, reboot and try firefox again.

Thanks.

If you are using flash and changing the depth fixes the issue, then this is bug 14911.
