Obviously the arch packages are changed from stock firefox in some way that breaks multimedia stuff.

P.s.: also the whole KDE bug tracking and debug system doesn't catch any browser crashes.īTW: this is firefox 40.0.3 I am posting here because I am uncomfortable with the solution. Maybe web browsing is overrated and a major and important DE like KDE shouldn't bother with it. ATM browsing with KDE is a huge mess: rekonq isn't really developed anymore, konqueror is dead, chrome/chromium do not integrate very well and firefox - which is an integration mess also - crashes on random stuff. But on many sites, like "", firefox crashes immediatly on loading.Īlso if someone has a good suggestion for web browsing with KDE I really like to hear it. I can work around most crashes by reinstalling flash. trying everything above with a fresh user doesn't help switching youtube html5 preferred option on/off doesn't help trying with the package "firefox-kde-opensuse" from aur is the same just an older version of firefox deleting ~/.mozilla in combination with all the above produces the same results turning off syncing and other firefox "goodies" does not work either "about:crashes" produces "invalid page" disabling hardware acceleration (how to do that without flash?) But "about:crashes" is an invalid page, it doesn't exist on my system. Obviously I tried with activating html5 content on youtube, also tried turning it off.Įxample? The mozilla help pages tell me over and over again that I should start firefox in "safe mode" (which is essentially just the same as my normal mode cause I do not have any addons!) and enter "about:crashes" in the address bar. It is very annoying that the mozilla help pages seem to be way outdated - I have never found any useful hints there. I use firefox 39 with KDE plasma5 - all Arch and KDE is fully updated.Īnd I do think this only happens on Arch as I can see.Įven though I uninstalled flash firefox crashes on youtube when using the navigation bar or switching to the next video.
