Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Starting a few days ago, maybe a week or so, FF3 started crashing randomly, 
after 1h or so, usually when there are tens of windows and tabs open. It
probably happened after some update of the X server, come to think of it.

Calling it from a terminal and not from the window manager yields the following
trace:

The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'.
  (Details: serial 73442980 error_code 14 request_code 153 minor_code 4)
  (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 am not sure what to do with that? Is firefox the program I should run with 
the --sync command line option?
