Firefox crashes X randomly all the time

Firefox crashes X randomly, several times per day. Sometimes when open new tab, sometimes a second after closing firefox, sometimes just crash X without any reason.

I tried to running firefox in safe mode, reinstallation firefox, xorg, java, flash etc. and nothing.
Any suggestion?

Firefox 12.0-2 + xorg 1.11 repo + fglrx 12.4 + compiz standalone (system up to date)

Re: Firefox crashes X randomly all the time

I’m not an expert on Catalyst problems, but since it seems that it’s where the crash is happening, I would try with xf86-video-ati. Other ideas: try another WM, disable Flash.

Re: Firefox crashes X randomly all the time

Does it still occur if you disable hardware acceleration in firefox?

Re: Firefox crashes X randomly all the time

Ok, i change drivers to xf86-video-ati and also xorg to version 1.12. Everything seems to work fine, but now my graphic card is very hot.
It's a very big difference: 60 degrees for fglrx and 85 for open drivers. Very strange, temperature is much higher, but fan is much louder even if xorg is not running
I have to wait for new fglrx drivers...

Thanks

Re: Firefox crashes X randomly all the time

I had this problem until I replaced nouveau+gallium with nvidia. Something tells me that a 3D component in the current firefox is broken.
