Whenever I attempt to load a page containing any flash component, firefox will crash. Konqueror will load the page, but without any flash content. I attempted installing flashplugin-free|nonfree (1) and had no luck. I've now removed everything relevant (2), and firefox is still crashing. I really don't care if flash works or not, but I do want firefox to keep running whether or not it has flash installed. Relevant system info (3); Following Debian testing, all components should be current versions. mark at aptiva:~$ firefox http://americavotes.org The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 89 error_code 8 request_code 146 minor_code 3) (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.) Any ideas? Thanks, Mark [1] via apt-get [2] search for macromedia and flash in synaptic, and complete removal of everything relevant. [3] I hope, if anything else would be useful, speak up.
