Bug Description
When I try to start firefox using the 'run command' dialog, firefox fails to start about half of the times that I try. Usually the second or third time is successfull. When I examine the xsession logs I typically find the following error:
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 2554 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(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.)

I can't confirm this. I just tried it and it started 5 times in a row with a current Kubuntu Feisty install.
Given the error this is more likely X related than Firefox related.
