Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm having a problem with the latest ABrowser on Belenos. It may just be a problem with the particular site (http://thedailyblog.co.nz/), but I'm reporting it here, as it may also be a Abrowser (or upstream) bug related to the ones that were recently fixed. When I visit the site, I usually keep the front page open, and open the articles I want to read in new tabs. Recently, whenever I open two article tabs at once, the browser crashes. Not only that, it crashes the whole OS. Ctrl-Alt-F1 does nothing. Ctlr-Alt-Del does nothing. I have to hold down the on button my laptop to manually power down. Has anybody come across similar problems with ABrowser on Trisquel since the 40.0.3 updates?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I just got back from a week AFK, and downloaded the latest ABrowser patch (40.0.3) on both Trisquel 6 and 7. This seems to have fixed the segfault crashes on 6 (writing this in 6), and improved the stability in 7. Thanks to everyone who helped triage and fix the bugs involved. Great work!
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The latest version should fix this for 32-bit toutatis.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Fixed in Abrowser 40
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Upgrade to ABrowser 40 on Trisquel 7 seems to have fixed the crashing issues for now. Thanks to everyone who worked on this. Will test on Trisquel 6 next.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
There's an update in my ppa which should work.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Just tried ABrowser in Trisquel 6(.0.1). No joy, window doesn't even appear. Running 'sudo apt-cache show abrowser' shows that the version is 40. Running 'abrowser' in a terminal returns the response 'segmentation fault'. If I haven't mentioned before, my machine is 32bit.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
u_u! I tried an update from the repo, it didn't work, then build it myself hoping it could be some random thing that building it myslef could fix it. It didn't work either, after that, i read your response and well, yeah: Dependency hell! :'( It's a shame that this release is the one that has WebRTC support finally, i was eager to test meet.jit.si (on both 32 and 64 Toutatis versions) I knew that someday i had to drop 32 bits, but i didn't see it coming so fast :P. Thanks for your response.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
It's alive Muahahahaha! Thanks a bunch, i really hope this update will hit the main repo not so far :) Again, thanks! ^_^!

Really?, why? Please tell me more :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Newer versions of Firefox cannot be built with GCC 4.6, the version of GCC in precise. So Ubuntu backported GCC 4.8 (the version in trusty) to precise as the package gcc-mozilla. The bug in 32-bit builds of Firefox was caused by a bug in GCC. The fix to GCC was made in trusty, so that was just a matter of using the latest version in the repos. However, in precise, the fixed gcc-mozilla package is not in the repos, as aklis found out yesterday. He later found that the updated gcc-mozilla was in a PPA, so this package has to be manually backported to Trisquel toutatis. Unfortunately, the gcc-mozilla package build-depends on a newer version of dpkg-dev than in the toutatis/precise repos. I don't know if aklis figured out how to build it yet. Basically, dependency hell :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I recently learned that I should regularly get-upgrade after get-update, and it upgraded Abrowser. No crash whatsoever, but I can't get true fullscreen. In that screenshot, you can see that the bar is still in sight (it should be hidden) and also, there are the minimize/fullscreen/close icons appearing. Never had those before.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
It turns out that the issue is a bit complicated in 32-bit Toutatis. You will have to wait a bit.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Would you build the 40 release for Toutatis? I'm still getting the same behaviour on the trisquel 40 build, i purge and delete the .mozilla file on home, but it still no luck on it, on my 64 bit machine it works fine. Thanks :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Still crashes on my 32bits machines. Abrowser updated to 39.0.3+build2, same for previous versions, except 33. The problem is, enabled javascript, when disabled, I have no problems. Tryed with clean install of OS, no addons or plugins, but same happens for Abrowser with addons or plugins.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
@Magic Banana, I agree with you. Here's my thoughts on the topic:- GNU IceCat is built keeping user freedom and privacy as the top-notch priority; SPY Block, HTTPS Everywhere!, Tor Proxy and LibreJS are a few tools to defend the user from known vulnerabilities. (And of course, they are free as in free speech!!) Abrowser too has HTML5 Video and its custom homepage add-on. Tor proxy is available to Abrowser too, provided you have installed GNU IceCat. (Tor proxy comes pre-installed with GNU IceCat.) Abrowser tracks the most recent Firefox build, whereas IceCat tracks the ESR release; (Similar to Ubuntu's LTS edition, Trisquel GNU/Linux's upstream.) As a result, GNU IceCat is generally more stable, while latest features from Firefox are available on Abrowser.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Most people download and install Trisquel GNU/Linux on weekends. (Saturday, Sunday.) The very first web browser they will be using on a fresh install is most probably Abrowser. (I am not ignoring GNU IceCat; But most people will get it as a single click download option from Abrowser.) Thus it would be wise to schedule sensitive updates (Other than essential security updates.) away from weekends. Otherwise, new users will get turned off and may never come back due to the bitter experience they had, at first hand.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Back on IceCat as, like others, my Abrowser broke again with the recent update. :( I noticed that IceCat hasn't been updated to match the most secure Firefox version. Is that correct? Also, what are the main differences between IceCat and Abrowser? Is it the plugins installed by default and the use of Tor? Are the default settings that are different? Is there a wiki page (or something similar) about this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The primary difference between IceCat and Abrowser is essentially the range of plugins installed- Abrowser is a more or less vanilla Firefox (except it does not recommend non-free plugins) while IceCat has HTTPS Everywhere, LibreJS, and HTML5 Video installed by default, as well as the IceCat homepage thingy. Neither Abrowser nor IceCat use Tor, however.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Now, Abrowser 39.0.3 on a 32-bit machine suffers the same issue. (At least for me.) Someone needs to test the latest Abrowser version(s) on different architectures before pushing them for the routine updates. Hope the issue get resolved the sooner possible.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm having the same issue with 39.03 on Trisquel 7. The last system update seemed to fix the random crashing problem, this one has broken it again :( Problems is ongoing on Trisquel 6. Using IceCat as my main browser now on both installs (with LibreJS turned off, except for testing sites before I contact them about freeing their scripts).
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Thank you, Legimet. But wouldn’t it be nice if the developer(s) themselves release the fix as an official update? Its not that I don't trust you; But I am having practically no experience dealing with PPAs.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
There was a new update and it broke Abrowser again... Damn it
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Thanks. I forgot to tell you to run apt-get update, which is why you didn't get the PPA version at first. The PPA is actually for KDE integration, so if you don't use KDE, I suggest removing the PPA as soon as the fix comes out in the official repos. On the other hand, KDE users will see improvements with filetype associations and other things when using the patched version from the PPA along with the abrowser-kde-support package. See https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/abrowser-kde-users.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I spoke too soon! I did the two commands you suggested, but the apt-get must have installed the standard v39 from the toutatis repository again. Which crashed. I should have realised it was still the wrong version since there was hardly any download time.. I then went into Synaptic and carefully made sure to choose your version to install - which took a decent time to download. And it is working fine so far (up for about 10 min). Many thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The recent update has fixed the problem for me as well. Thank you to the developers for working to get that fixed. Again, I stress that these types of problems are a HUGE deal. I really would have liked to see some better communication to the community as to how this problem was going to be handled. If nothing else, as was said by another member there should have been a downgrade to abrowser 38 as a temporary option. Is there a policy in place for dealing with this type of thing? Anyway, thank you for fixing this
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm back in Abrowser, so the update worked for me as well. I agree with @alucardx about better communication and appreciate all of the feedback here in the forum in the meantime. Thanks everyone!
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
A recent software update seems to have solved this issue. Nice work, team!! But there was a minor issue, at least for me; The proxy configuration changed from system proxy settings to manual proxy settings. So I was presented with French version of some websites. No big deal, flipped back to system proxy settings. Now I can access the Indian versions.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
On my machine, the apt-get-upgrade I ran today has fixed ABrowser on Trisquel 7. Great stuff! However, a previous automatic update (ABrowser 38 39) created the same problems on Trisquel 6, and even though I ran apt-get-upgrade on that install today as well, the problem persists. This is still my production system, so a fix would be much appreciated.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Is there a version for those of us on Trisquel 6?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The problem was due to the gcc version used to build firefox.An updated package is avaliable for testing here: http://jenkins.trisquel.info/jenkins-repos/belenos/abrowser_39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+7.0trisquel39_i386.deb You can download and install it with: wget http://jenkins.trisquel.info/jenkins-repos/belenos/abrowser_39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+7.0trisquel39_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i abrowser_39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1+7.0trisquel39_i386.deb
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I am myself not much experienced with apparmor profiles, but being Icecat (or Icecactus as I recently started to call it, hmm..) based on FF (just like Iceweasel and Abrowser) the profiles shouldn't differ much. In Icecat your connection gets routed through Tor when you are in private browsing mode. If you are just viewing cats and dogs pictures it it perfectly fine to use it. But if you are doing anything important, compromising, vital etc.. use the Tor BB! You shouldn't mix your standard browser with tor. Fingerprinting techniques are much easier on Icecat because not many people use it. Another thing is, if you read the how to stay anon on the Tor website it will clearly explain you that installing addons on Tor can completely screw you anonymity. So if you have installed, say, jap dictionary plugin.. you may have problems. Tor Browser Bundle is used by many people and basically all the TBBs are identical so no fingerprinting techniques can be used against you. Make sure you set Tor to the strictes setting in privacy and sec settings, that is to say, make sure you completely disable javashit.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I tried this and it worked! I'm typing this on the reinstalled Abrowser right now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Everything works, until I try to sign into firefox sync. Then it seg faults,and then i unable to run firefox without segfaulting, until I run abrowser -P to delete teh profile.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
there is no tor process running on my machine all the time. Unless its from installing icecat which I don't use.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I believe it is real, just sharing my anecdote.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I see interesting. is there a button for tor in icecat? to toggle it on or off? and also i'm curious is there an apparmor profile for it anywhere?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Yes. We are talking about Icecat and its tor implementation. Abrowser doesn't have it. The tor package gets installed when you install Icecat. You can remove it if you don't want it though, and keep Icecat. Tor browser bundle is much better anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
jdenz - sudo netstat -tulpn will give you the info. If I recall correctly the process tor on Trisquel *is* indeed running all the time but it only listens to local host so, no biggy.. cheers!
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Well, this is real. For what it's worth, I'm on 32 bit Trisquel 7, just updated from Abrowser 38 to Abrowser 39 (waited for a resolution before updating sooner, but didn't want to wait any longer ... typing this on IceCat), NoScript, plus a bunch of other plugins ... didn't get Abrowser 39 to load once without immediately crashing since the update. :( I've been using Abrowser for a long time now and never had a problem like this. I'm disappointed. IceCat is similar though, so it'll all work out in the end. Some questions about IceCat and Tor though ... is Tor always running in the background now? How can I check this? I understand that when I switch to private browsing, IceCat changes the proxy to the Tor proxy and when I switch back, it changes back to the normal system proxy. The change takes place so seamlessly that it appears as if Tor is always running. Is this true? Is there a source I can go to in order to learn more?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
FWIW I'm on 64 bit Trisquel 6. Abrowser 39 + NoScript - Gnash. Very solid experience, as always.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm using IceCat on Trisquel 7 now. It mostly runs ok if I keep LibreJS turned off, but it still crashes from time to time. If I actually want to get some work done without periodic browser crashes, I have to go back to my Trisquel 6 install. Browser crashes in Trisquel 6 Come to think of it, I have had the occasional browser crash problem on Trisquel 6 too. It usually happens when I have a *lot* of tabs open, and usually has something to do with sites serving scripts that freeze up (dialog pops up to let me stop them). It tends to happen when I've been using my laptop for a long time, so I used to think it was due to overheating, but I was recently given a really good USB fan base, and it still happens with that. I think in Trisquel 6 it probably is out-of-memory problems triggered by JavaScript bloatware.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
this looks promising, hopefully it will be fixed in a future update from upstream. But personally, I didn't experience this problem on a machine running Lubuntu with all the newest updates...

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Oh well.. Happened to me after I uploaded an update. Not a fan of Abrowser anyway. Not a good web browser during its best time. I had to upload an obsolete version of Dooble to come here and find this out. I don't have the 33 version of Abrowser on my system so I had downloaded icecat that someone else here recommended. I think it's bad that whoever prepared the downloads did not realize or was not told not to update Abrowser/place it on mirrors so it could be downloaded since this problem supposedly happened elsewhere on other distributions.Or so it is said. Don't know if I will go back to Arowser if I have a choice once it is fixed.If it is fixed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Just as an experiment I recompiled abrowser from source from the Trisquel repositories. It took nine hours to complete but the end result was no different. I know that if I download the official Firefox 32-bit binary everything works just fine. This means that it must either be a change made upstream by Ubuntu or a change made for Trisquel. Now again,I have to ask: Why hasn't anyone been trying to resolve this? Why aren't we even getting feedback on this? This is not a minor problem when your primary and most functional browser is broken. I am not trying to critisize, but understand. Does anyone else feel like this should be getting more attention or is it just me?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
@alucardx Yeah, I think this is an important issue. I don't have the skills to fix it myself though. :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I solved the problem with Abrowser 39 on Trisquel 7 (http://trisquel.info/en/forum/abrowser-behaves-strangely-after-system-update#comment-73839) by going back to Trisquel 6. I'm now using ABrowser 38 on Trisquel 6 (same hardware). Most things work, but I just tried to use Subrosa.io (GPLv3, encrypted-by-default, multi-user, video conferencing and text chat, using WebRTC protocol). It worked fine when I first tried it in May (same hardware, same OS, whichever version of ABrowser was current), but today it hit errors which made it impossible to add a new contact without it reloading. All of my few existing contacts appeared to be offline, so it's hard to know whether they actually were, or whether that was a bug as well. I've tried on IceCat 31.8 (same OS, same hardware), with almost identical results. Then I got the same results again testing it on FireFox on my fiancee's MacBook (haven't convinced her to make the switch to freedom yet), so I thought it was a FireFox problem. But then I tested it on Safari, same problem, so I think Subrosa have some testing and patching to do at their end to get up-to-date with the recent changes across browsers. BTW IceCat crashes so constantly in Trisquel 6 that it's really usable either.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Once you install abrowser 39 you can't downgrade back to 38. You can go to 33. The problem I have with Icecat is that it is so privacy and security oriented that it breaks sites. Normally that is not a major problem for me but there are a few that won't work at all because of the tight settings. Without a functioning abrowser, or one that problems get fixed quickly, I have a hard time recommending Trisquel to people that are a little less techy. Seriously, when is this issue going to get some attention, or at least be addressed by some devs in the bug tracker? I don't really care if it is upstream or not. What are we doing? Is there anything I can do to help with this? I'm not a developer but if there is some type of data I can collect I'd be happy to.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Exact same issue for me after v 39 upgrade, on my GlugGlug X60 laptop. Immediate crash. I've had to install the only other version in the repo, which was version 19!
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
You can't use abrowser 38 on trisquel 7? Or isn't it maybe safer to use icecat on trisquel 7 until issue is fixed?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Abrowser 39 crashes on my 32-bit Trisquel 6 machine as well.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I second this.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
You can temporally use abrowser 33: 1) Open Synaptic 2) Search for abrowser 3) Click the package named abrowser 4) Press Control + E 5) Select 33.0 for the version 6) Force the version 7) Click on Apply 8) Wait 9) Enjoy abrowser 33 It's and old one. But, what's the deal? I have been using abrowser 33 since Trisquel 7 came out. The only issue with this version is restartless add-ons not automatically loading. To temporary fix this just go to your list of add-ons and disable/enable your add-on.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
There have been bugs filed and many people are experiencing this problem. Due to the fact that this is the default browser for the system and it is the most friendly to most mainstream sites I don't know why this is taking so long for there to be an official response. Are any maintainers actually looking into this problem right now? Understand I'm not critisizing or trying to downplay the excellent job that the maintainers do. I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that this is a big issue and it has gone on since the update was made available and it still isn't fixed. If we ever want to attract new users, issues like this can't linger.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I tried it on Lubuntu 14.04, 64-bit, Firefox 39 does not crash at all. On my trisquel-mini 32-Bit setup the crash occures however... It seems like something went wrong in the process of changing Firefox to Abrowser?

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Am I the only person here not experiencing any strange issues with the latest Abrowser? It works perfectly for me. Haven't changed any settings since before the update. I don't even mind reader mode. I tried it out the first time, didn't really see the point (though it is a nice gimmick) and it has never popped up again. It's probably because I don't really use any of the addons- I kept my browser as vanilla as possible.

What is the quickest way to get this problem fixed? It seems like a major issue like this should be dealt with more quickly. Also, why is it that as soon as a new package version is available the old one is immediately removed from the repos? In a situation like this I'd like to downgrade back to abrowser 38 but can't.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm running a fairly fresh install (from a few days ago) of Trisquel 7 (32bit), on an Acer Aspire One. I have 1GB memory, which was always enough on Trisquel 6, and I'm using a swap partition. Just updated to ABrowser 39, which crashed repeatedly. I had this page open in a tab: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/radio-talk-show-covering-free-software-declare-your-independence-ernest-hancock ...and the podcast in that thread open in a second tab. I opened a third tab, and tried to search !imdb the cartel thrice. The first time I did it from the address bar, instant crash. The second time I tried it from the search box, instant crash. The third time, I closed the other two tabs and tried it, instant crash. Then I open ABrowser, closed the session restore, and closed the browser. Then opened it again. Did the same search in the address bar, instant crash. Same again with the search bar. Tried again with the !imdb, same result from both address bar and search box. Then it offered me the choice to refresh ABrowser, which I did. Same search, still crashed. Same when I used the search bar in the start page. Tried safe/ troubleshooting mode, seemed to make no difference. I'd also like the option to roll back to a previous version when this happens with application updates.

64-bit.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I don't think the system is low on memory; This is the present state of my memory. That's your hard disk space. The fact you don't have swap means you're more likely having to deal with the oom killer. This seems like a decent overview of the beast https://linuxwithraj.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/oom-killer-%C2%B7-out-of-memory-handling/
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
@Mzee, I am having HTML5 Video Everywhere!, Private Browsing Tor Proxy 2.3 and AbrowserHome 1.0 as extensions and default addons. @lembas, I don't think the system is low on memory; This is the present state of my memory. Total Used /19.6 GB 006.9 GB (37% approx.) /home35.9 GB 097.9 MB (00% approx.) RAM Memory 02.0 GB 568.7 MB(27% approx.) Swap (Not available.) (0% used.) CPU1 70% used. CPU2 90% used. [Source: GNOME System Monitor Program while loading Abrowser.] By the way, where can I get the log report you mentioned? @Legimet SuperTramp83, Can you share your settings in 'about:config' related to the 'Reader View'? May be I can get it to work by replicating your configurations. Please note that I do not even have a NoScript addon on Abrowser. @a_slacker_here, Thank you for the Bug report. @a_slacker_here and Bertel, Thank you for the confirmation. @cooloutac, will try out them later. Thank you for showing up!
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
A person in irc room said she deleted the profile folder removed abrowser and reinstalled and has same issues even on safe mode. Not sure why, only diff she was on KDE, i'm on the default gnome desktop maybe? don't know why that would make a diff though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm on Iceweasel and icecat and thankfully don't have this reader or several other bloatware entries in my about:config :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I am experiencing the same issue with abrowser 39. Thanks for reporting the bug.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Abrowser 39.0 on Trisquel 7 doesn't work at all. I tried launching it three times and every time it shows the window that checks for add-on compatibility then it crashes. ~$ abrowser (process:6389): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed (abrowser:6389): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised (abrowser:6389): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised (abrowser:6389): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::display after class was initialised (abrowser:6389): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::default-icon after class was initialised 1437273586327 addons.repository WARNSearch failed when repopulating cache Segmentation fault A few more times of trying to launch it, then a window appears offering me the options of starting Abrowser in safe mode or refreshing the browser, which is really a complete reset of the browser. I started it in safe mode and the main window appeared for a few seconds, then it crashed. I think it exited with a segmentation fault.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Could you be running out of (memory + swap)? In that case it could've been the oom (out of memory) killer. You should find his calling card in the logs.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
As lembas pointed out, it seems to me that you are running out of mem. Check your mem and swap. If you don't like it, you can disable the reader thingy by toggling this to false in about:config- reader.parse-on-load.enabled
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Both fsf.org and mozilla.org work for me without problems with Abrowser 39.0. Are you using any add-ons that might cause problems?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
It also works like shit in my system. I think it is a general problem. It happens when the browser blocks specific sites. It is bug and an important one. I'm going to report it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I like the Reader View. Just note that if you have NoScript, you will have to allow scripts from about:reader.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
abrowser is working fine for me. I did disable that readerview, not really knowing what it is. I use the settings and addons here https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/tweak-your-browser-enhance-security-and-privacy
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Same strange behaviour after update. So I'm using IceCat as long as necessary.
