I have no doubt that Browse/xulrunner has room for improvement with
memory usage but this is not where you should be looking. These BadAlloc
messages are true errors generated when the application requests pixmaps
outside of the coordinate range accepted by X (this is well
documented). 

This is a real bug in the code, not a memory pressure issue. Such
requests should never be generated, and the application crashing is
probably the behaviour we want.
