Same problem here, but only with fedora rawhide (fc6). If i visit a site with flash, firefox quits. Same problem, but FC5 with firefox 1.5.0.3. Here is a workaround: Create a file in /etc/profile.d called flash.sh. Include this in it: export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 -- This works for Me in fedora rawhide (fc6). In response to Comment #3: That workaround is only true if you enabled COMPOSITE in order to use AIGLX. Bug #155582 There is indeed some kind of crash related to browser plugins affecting firefox, but it seems difficult to pin down...

I worked on my FC5 with firefox 1.5.0.4. Since I have not noticed any changes/updates to xorg or its configuration (in yum.log), it seems to be a firefox problem. |
