Whenever I attempt to load a page containing any flash component, firefox will 
crash.  Konqueror will load the page, but without any flash content.

I attempted installing flashplugin-free|nonfree (1) and had no luck.  I've now 
removed everything relevant (2), and firefox is still crashing.

I really don't care if flash works or not, but I do want firefox to keep 
running whether or not it has flash installed.

Relevant system info (3);

Following Debian testing, all components should be current versions.

mark at aptiva:~$ firefox http://americavotes.org
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 89 error_code 8 request_code 146 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.)

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Mark

[1] via apt-get
[2] search for macromedia and flash in synaptic, and complete removal of 
everything relevant.
[3] I hope, if anything else would be useful, speak up.
