Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

URL: http://lady.mail.ru/article/45677

When I trying to load speciefied url, firefox (3.0b5) >>DIES<< spitting this on console:
--- 8< --- 8< --- 
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 448479 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.)
--- >8 --- >8 --- 

I tried to start firefox with --sync and it tells almost the same message:
--- 8< --- 8< --- 
The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
