Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

I changed from Midori because of the insecure webkit engine. The browser mostly works well, but on some pages it drops "segmentation fault (core made)" and closes. This is all the report I was able to get from the program. I cleared all the config files, but the problem remained. Does anyone any suggestions?

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

Maybe you could post an example of web pages that shows this behaviour. Does it work with firefox?

Note that SeaMonkey share the same code base as firefox, it is mostly firefox + thunderbird in a single software, but Firefox is better tested/maintained. So maybe you could use firefox instead.

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

Youtube, nlcafe.hu and 24per7.hu did it. Strange, that tube crashes SM only for some videos, like Metal Church - Watch the Children Pray. And more strange: on a freshly installed Arch these pages works perfectly.
No, I don't want to use FF, not now. I want to solve this problem.

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

journlctl will hold the dumped core (unless you redirected it), which is very relevant.
the problem might be your gtk+ settings (theme, font), but without a backtrace that's wild guessing.

Hm. Is it a bug, or just some unluck? Anyway I send a report to the team.

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

the backtrace has no debug symbols, so it's hard to say, but it looks like a plugin is causing this (nspr)

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

Hm. That is part of nspr package, which required by libreoffice-{fresh,still}, nss and js17 packages. Strange, because on the laptop libreoffice is installed too with seamonkey, and there is no problem nor crashing.

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

nspr is the plugin interface ("Netscape Portable Runtime"); it's a dependency of seamonkey (as well as firefox)
I rather think that "some" plugin (flash, pdf, ...) causes this. see "about:plugins"

Re: Seamonkey segfaults on some pages

After an update the problem is gone. The only difference I found is on one machine there were installed flashplugin and midori-flashplayer, on the other was not. The latter worked good.
