Hello everyone,
Upon upgrading to KDE 3.4 I have noticed an EXTREME lack of stability in all web browser apps. For example, Firefox crashes when opening a lot of tabs and is very unstable unless I have the icon open a new terminal (in the icon's properties).
Furthermore, every browser (except Konqueror) crashes when I try to open it with a Flash file. Even though Konqueror doesn't crash it can't view the flash at all. The interesting part is that the crashing causes the same error. This is what error happens (in this case Firefox):
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 117 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 3)
(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.)
Replace the X in: "The program 'X' received an X Window System error...." with your browser of choice, for example:
The program 'epiphany-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

I am currently running SuSE 9.2 i686 with KDE 3.4.
As you can see the error message is the same. Please help, I really don't want to have to use... gnome. Thank you in advance.

Here is where I posted on the Firefox forums:
