firefoxrc2 unstable to the point of being unusable [SOLVED]

hey all.  i installed firefox2rc2 from AUR, and it is sooooooooooooooooooo riducously unstable.  i'd go to /., go article comments, the page loads, and bam the app just disappears.

is there any way for me to get a stack trace or something to the devs?

edit:

did some googling around and there was an extension in xorg.conf that had to be disabled.  i didn't have that exact extension in my xorg.conf, but i was message around with aiglx before (never got it working), so i forgot it there.  i used hwd to regenerate a new xorg.conf and FF appears to be stable now.

Re: firefoxrc2 unstable to the point of being unusable [SOLVED]

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 102 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.)

i've been running cvs builds of firefox 3.0 since may and have found them very stable. the broke the 3.0 branch off early so they could remove some stuff from 2.0 that wasn't going to be finished in time but i have no complaints.
