What were you trying to do?
I was trying to open firefox and navigate webpages on Sun machines. 


What's wrong:
When I first open firefox, I get the following error, but the browser still opens:

(Gecko:10108): Pango-WARNING **: error opening config file '/opt/sfw/etc/pango/pangorc': Error 0

When I try to navigate, the browser crashes with the following error:


(Gecko:10108): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkvisual-x11.c: line 652: assertion `visual != NULL' failed

(Gecko:10108): Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkvisual-x11.c: line 652: assertion `visual != NULL' failed
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 22438 error_code 13 request_code 60 minor_code 0)
  (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 have tried this both with and without customizations. Moving mozilla does not solve the problem.


What should have happened:
