Alright, so I'm having this really annoying bug on Linux. Every time I try to save anything in Firefox 3.0 (e.g. images), the browser just vanishes before the file dialog comes up. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on Gnome (with an Ubuntu 7.10 kernel). The same thing happens with Openoffice Writer, only then it freezes and I have to kill it, causing me to lose the entire file (recovery doesn't bring anything back).

I ran both programs in the shell and got the same error both times:

I googled this message, but didn't find anything useful, only questions about similar errors with different "invalidly modified types", and even then no answers.
Any help on how to rid myself of this rubbish would be deeply appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance!

Hmmm...Just throwing this out there, but is your GLib library up-to-date?

Yes, it's version 2.0.

I had this same error , when I clicked on the browse button in a html form and what I did was to uninstall a recently installed add-on called "mediaplayerconnetivity".

hope it helps

Well firefox is still crashing, I think the plugin was not the cause of the erro, I upgraded glibc to the lastest version I hope it fix the problem
