Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-5
Severity: normal
i use xfree86 4.2 because my video card does not work with xorg. probably
because of this, firefox crashes randomly about once per day, seemingly
upon opening a new tab.
here is a sample:
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(Details: serial 87751702 error_code 17 request_code 153 minor_code 22)
it looks as if the server, which perhaps means the x server, does not
implement an operation. then ff crashes all 18 windows and 130 tabs.
on my connection, restarting ff takes hours to finish downloading all
of the tabs.
if this is what is going on, there is no need to debug the situation,
because the server simply does not have the feature ff wants.
could ff be made to simply pop up a dialog or replace the tab contents
with an error page instead of crashing?
of course, with the error message given, we don't actually know
what server it is referring to.
thanks.
