Binary package hint: firefox

When I try to open all the bookmarks simulaneously when I click on the 'Open all in tabs' firefox crashes.

I have upgraded 0606 to 0610.

Hi, thank you for your bug report. Can you please submit a crash report? Does it crash even it it is opening only 3 or 4 tabs?

When crashing I got the following messages :

$ firefox

 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 100 error_code 8 request_code 144 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.)

The problem has disappeared once I have removed the flash pluggin.
So I am going to check with a new flash pluggin.

[gilles maigne (gilles-maigne)]

Using a recent flash pluggin does not change anything.
So it seems that firefox-2.0 does not support flash pluggin.
Is it possible ?
firefox-15 works perfectly .

So I am puzzled.

This sounds like the same problem I am having. Though I do not think it happens all the time...
I go to a Bookmarks Folder and click "Open in All in Tabs", and it crashes.
Report attached.

I have fixed my problem by adding the following lines in the
/usr/lib/firefox script :
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS

This allows to work around a bug in the flash pluggin.

Hope that helps,

Gilles.

Is this still a problem for anyone?
