Firefox 'badmatch' error

I've got a strange Firefox error, at least for me it is. I've narrowed it down to everytime something in Flash is loaded, I get this error.

[tux@tuxcomp ~]$ firefox

(firefox-bin:11740): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.
GetBoundingMetrics (char *)
GetBoundingMetrics (char *)
GetBoundingMetrics (char *)
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 84 error_code 8 request_code 147 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.)
[tux@tuxcomp ~]$

I've reinstalled Firefox, and Flash. No luck, still crashing, the sites that it crashes on are Fandango, PureVolume, sites that require flash. Hope someone can help

Re: Firefox 'badmatch' error

Not sure if it's your error, but what about configuring your locale?
