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 147 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.)

Program exited with code 01.

It turned out this crash was because of Flash.

I had the flash-nonfree plugin package.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

A variety of Web sites using Flash will trigger this symptom, and there's naught we can do until upstream (Macromedia/Adobe) fixes it.

[Bart Martens (bartm)]

Maybe same bug as 35942.
