I have had many problems with my Firefox crashing several times a day.
Today I decided to make a fresh Kubuntu 8.10 install (preserving my /home partition though). This went smoothfully. After having upgraded all software packages, I removed my ~/.mozilla directory. And then I started installing firefox (I have tried both from the gui Add/Remove Software and with sudo apt-get install firefox wth the same result
.
When I start firefox (from the command line in order to catch error output), Everything seems ok - I choose not to import any bookmarks and continue. Without doing any browsing, I quit firefox, and the firefox executable outputs:
(additional strange looking random symbols appears at the end of the same line and on a few lines following this one.)
To this one, I can add, that if I start firefox as a superuser (sudo firefox) - then this error doesn't show up! (Yes - I know, never start firefox as a super-user - but I found this suggested on a forum somewhere).
Then I enter firefox from the command line again, and this time, my intention is simply to add an add-on as eg. Gmarks (any other add-on will cause the same error though).
Firefox crashes after having found the add-on and clicked the Add button.
This is what firefox outputs to the shell:
Help me please .....
I have used the whole day searching for answers on the net - with no result.
What is extremely strange about this error is, that it is a fresh and clean install of both Kubuntu and Firefox.
What can be wrong?

Code:
QPixmap: Invalid pixmap parameters 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 29831 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.)

What is extremely strange about this error is, that it is a fresh and clean install of both Kubuntu and Firefox.
What can be wrong?
