Post your error in the list: " The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 29377 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.) " Do you have jpeg file in $HOME directory? We have an known issue for jpeg crash: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437041. This problem will be addressed in the Firefox 3.0 contributed builds. Otherwise, could you please help identify which file causes the crash? That might take some efforts to try, for example, make another directory, copy the suspected files into it and list the contents of that directory with Firefox. Thanks, -Alfred
