Just want to confirm I see this too very often. Firefox 3.x used to be stable as a rock (no crashes for weeks) under Hardy with KDE 3.5
After upgrading to Intrepid (KDE4, new QT, new Xorg) it started crashing every hour or so with SEGV after the X assertion failure. Here's how a session looks like when I start firefox from a shell: <code> $ /usr/bin/firefox (firefox:30311): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup. (firefox:30311): atk-bridge-WARNING **: IOR not set. (firefox:30311): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry [Note: the above messages appear at startup, and are probably unrelated. then firefox works fine for a while and finally crashes with this:] QPixmap: Invalid pixmap parameters The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'. (Details: serial 955915 error_code 169 request_code 152 minor_code 7) (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.)
