[SOLVED] Chromium freezes when new tab is opened

MadCat_X · 2012-03-24 17:45:17

Chromium is freezing quite frequently on my machine when I open a new tab. As soon as I type first letter in the address bar, the whole browser freezes and I have to "killall -9" it. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens frequently enough to make Chromium pretty useless. I'm sure it is not a plugin or extension issue, anybody else is getting this?

close(146)                              = 0
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 146
fcntl(146, F_GETFD)                     = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC)

Interesting, it looks like it's helped, I haven't had a single crash since I removed the library. Thank you. I'd like to test it a bit more thoroughly before I mark this as solved...

Split new problem with Chromium segfaulting to a different thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139213

It is clearly a different problem...
