Firefox 2.0 Crashes on Ubuntu Edgy

This issue occurs even when firefox is evoked with

 MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO="1"

and

 MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO="0"

And firefox options --sync and --no-xshm :

ubuntu:/tmp$ firefox --sync --no-xshm
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;

   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I noticed you have flash installed - is it flashplugin-nonfree?

Also, what color depth are you running at? Try 24-bit if you're at 16-bit.

These are the installed ones I found from about:plugins

        Shockwave Flash
        FutureSplash Player

@evuraan

Please, could you open a terminal and write:

sudo dpkg -l | grep flash

Also, could you open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the line:
 DefaultDepth 16
by:
 DefaultDepth 24

then, reboot and try firefox again.

Thanks.

This suggestion seems to be working; no crashes (so far) in 24-bit depth.

HI,

I know that Firefox is running fine with DefaultDepth 24, but I'm using 16, because Xorg needs less memory then.
But I hope that this issue is going to be fixed soon too. For now
"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" in the firefox startup script is solving my problem.
