Public bug reported: Binary package hint: konqueror
With a fresh installation of KDE, Konqueror crashes every time on at least one website (Pubmed, the "google for the biological sciences"). There exists a simple workaround; however, it is one that the most security-minded users might not wish to take. Details: This site requires that the user submit search information. By default, a fresh install causes a warning to pop up, asking the user if it's OK to submit the data unencrypted. If the user does _not_ alter the checkbox so that this warning is dismissed on future occasions, then the browser crashes once the warning box has been dismissed (often/always? requiring two dismissals on my machine). I verified that this happened every time for ten or more attempts before I (not knowing this would fix it) altered the checkbox. Now the site works fine for me. As I haven't found a way to go back to the original state, I haven't verified that changing whatever config option back to "ask user for confirmation before sending unencrypted data" restores the crashing behavior. To reproduce, try the following: 1. With a fresh user account, visit http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi 2. Do a search: in the field labelled "for" (as in, "Search Pubmed for ...") do any search at all, e.g. "olfaction". 3. When the warning dialog pops up, do _not_ alter the checkbox state. Simply hit "OK" or whatever it says. You should see a crash. (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1".
