I think there may be some kind of bug in a lib somewhere at the moment.
My wife is seeing Firefox dying after some random time on her machine.
I ran it under gdb and when it died it was due to an X error
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 8810105 error_code 1 request_code 0 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.)
Googling on that turned up a thread blaming problems with GTK for
similar behaviour... which might explain why Firefox and OO could both
go shaky. Or it could be something else entirely.
I updated her gtk with the one from development but the problem persists.
