Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
URL: http://
When I trying to load speciefied url, firefox (3.0b5) >>DIES<< spitting this on console:
--- 8< --- 8< ---
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 448479 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.)
--- >8 --- >8 ---
I tried to start firefox with --sync and it tells almost the same message:
--- 8< --- 8< ---

I can, somewhat. I get this error with a lot of different URLs, but the worst is gmail.com:

This is a clean install with an old home directory. The old install was working just fine until the hard drive died. Now nearly every other website crashes Firefox. (Frankly, I'm surprised Launchpad didn't.)
Incidentally, gmail loaded--it only erred when the gmail-gchat applet loaded.

We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this bug. Seems to have something to do with Flash and Composite.
It happens on any distro.
/opt/firefox/
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)'.
