** Description changed: This is the same bug that has appeared on the Trisquel GNU/Linux forums: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/abrowser-behaves-strangely-after-system-update I've tested Abrowser on three machine. On one of them (running Ubuntu 14.04 x64) , everything is fine. On the other two (both running 14.04 x32), there is an almost instant segmentation fault. Interestingly, the segmentation fault is NOT instant if I load a non-default profile using something like: mkdir ~/Desktop/FF-Temp ; abroswer --profile ~/Desktop/FF-Temp Although visiting certain website (DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Google) gives me the crash. So, perhaps visiting pages that execute certain HTML elements, javascript, etc. is what is setting this bug off. PS: for whatever it may be worth, after finding, downloading, and installing a .deb package from the FSF mirror of the Trisquel repos, I - can confirm that this bug doesn't effect version 38, just 39. + can confirm that this bug doesn't affect version 38, just 39. + + Also: to my knowledge, the bug doesn't affect Firefox (although I've + removed Firefox from my system in favor of abrowser, so I can't say for + sure).
