I have gotten the following error messages, which result in Firefox 3.0
for Solaris to crash frequently and intermittently:
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
(Details: serial 66792 error_code 13 request_code 60 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.)
Segmentation Fault - core dumped

I am using a Sun Ray thin client with a T5220 server being used at the
thin client's backend. I can provide both application core dumps (they
are each about 170 MB in size) if you can tell me where you would like
for me to make them available for analysis and diagnosis.
I have also listed below the following info in the hopes that it would
help you troubleshoot what the root cause might be in Firefox 3.0
frequently crashing intermittently on various web sites:
