Firefox keeps crashing with flash plugin

Everytime I try to load a page with flash content, Firefox crashes.

If I run it in a terminal, I get this message:
mozilla-firefox
*** loading the extensions datasource
*** loading the extensions datasource
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 117 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.)

Has anyone else had the same problem?

TIA

Yeah, I had the same problem. My only advice is to disable composite in xorg.conf. Just comment out the related lines and restart your X server. Hopefully this will be fixed soon
