Update:
- abrowser had no add-ons installed.
- I completely uninstalled abrowser+icecat; sudo apt-get update, update,
autoremove.
- rebooted, installed just abrowser and rebooted.
- tried the fresh installation of abrowser; websites mentioned continue
crashing.
- I then checked the "disable javascript" option from abrowser --> was able
to open the JNNP website, but for obvious reason can't use googlemaps or
(worse in my case) tinytinyRSS (which is >50% of what my computer time
consists of...)
Next I wanted to try uninstalling and re-installing the javascript components
of Trisquel; any idea about the packages involved?
thanks!
