seedbox: Firefox doesn't work on debian

[fazzy07]

I installed firefox using apt-get install firefox

But when I run firefox in tightvnc it gives me this error

Error: Cairo does not yet support the requested image format:
Depth: 8
Alpha mask: 0x00000000
Red mask: 0x00000007
Green mask: 0x00000038
Blue mask: 0x000000c0
Please file an enhancement request (quoting the above) at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cairo
firefox-bin: /build/buildd/libcairo-1.2.4/src/cairo-image-surface.c:155: _cairo_format_from_pixman_format: Assertion `NOT_REACHED' failed.

Does anyone knows how to fix it

I am still new to linux and cant figure it out. Did some google but didnt found much help

How do I change that

I see in tightvnc options a check box for 8-bit color but it was unchecked

EDIT: vncserver -depth 16 :1 command fixed it
Thanks donvito
