Bug Description
... when run from "Run Command" box
Binary package hint: firefox
On my system (upgraded Breezy-
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 2722 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.)
I get the same if I try with the --sync command.
I've been having this problem for quite some time, perhaps it started on my Edgy system, I can't be too sure.

Does this happen always or just sporadically?
