When Firefox crashes on my system it seems mostly due to extensions that the page requires, like Flash, although I have flashblock to block Flash movies from playing instantly, so it usually doesn't crash unless I click on the movie. Lots of movies work just fine. I tried starting Firefox from the command line with the '-safe-mode' option so it doesn't load extensions and it reports errors on the command line. Then I visited this page you mentioned and it crashed again: --------------- $ firefox -safe-mode *** loading the extensions datasource *** loading the extensions datasource The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 16439 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.) --------------- The 'serial 16439' mentioned is different each time. I haven't tried debugging it yet. You may try that, but you may want to choose to do that in a bug report. Or continue here and point to this discussion in your bug report.
