Bug 56224 – Firefox crashes when accessin vg.no, gives gecko error

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Espen Fjellvær Olsen 2004-07-06 04:50:00 UTC]

When i try to access e.g. vg.no with mozilla firefox the browser window closes itself after approximately 1 sec.
I get this in the console where i start firefox:

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 83 error_code 10 request_code 149 minor_code 1)
  (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.)

firefox --sync segfaults: /usr/bin/firefox: line 388: 32704 Segmentation fault $mozbin "$@"

Other sites crashes as well, theinquirer.net, itpro.no and so on.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter vg.no with firefox
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes.

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed vg.no

I had the same problem. It seems to be an x.org 6.8.0 problem.
If you run firefox like this "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox" in a command line
it should work.
