Comment 75 for bug 220628

I patched libxcb with the proposed patch and have been testing it since last night. I haven't received any BadIDChoice errors, which in the scenario I've been in basically ensured that it would crash before all the tabs finished reloading after it crashed (I had about 140 tabs open in 2 windows). I patched it against 1.1.93 and it seems to be working well.

This has been a serious problem for me and made firefox basically unusable in the fashion I typically use it in for the last 6 months; I hope this patch (or an improved one, if I find there to be problems with this one) makes it into the mainline asap. If it doesn't, I'll be running my own patched version of xcb because this problem is really very huge for me.
