Bug Description

go to
http://www.telkku.com/

and see the crash. Firefox is not able to show this page. It works with the 1.5.0.7
after I upgrade shockwave flash to 7.0.r68.
I tried this new flash and also 9 beta, but they did not help now.

I can't reproduce this crash at said URL (running Edgy w/ i810 driver, composite and AIGLX enabled under xfwm4 on Xubuntu).

Yes, I can confirm that removing flash plugin ends these failures.
But I have not found any way to get flash plugin to work. It always fails. Anyway,
firefox works fine without flash plugin.

Yes, it works with firefox 1.5 for me, too. The problem occurs with firefox 2.0 only

I managed to get this to work by doing:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/firefox
and adding the following line as the second last:
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
After restarting firefox, it worked.

This is actually instructed in:
