[solved] firefox crashing

Can someone try "ispreview" from firefox please? As soon as I get to this page it terminates instantly - no attempt to display

[paul@night ~]$ firefox http://www.ispreview.co.uk
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 104 error_code 8 request_code 144 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.)

edit: site was ok yesterday, could today's openssl-0.9.7f-1 be suspect?

Re: [solved] firefox crashing

Looks OK now

I was mucking about with translucency in KDE control centre - it wasn't working so I disabled it.

I then remembered I had left in the changes to xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

removing this got me back to ISPreview. I think it may be flash-related as Konqueror asked me what to do about the swf file, whereas firefox has the plugin.
