[Bug 1476907] Re: Abrowser 39 crashes (segmentation fault).

[Tyler Johnson]

** Description changed:

  This is the same bug that has appeared on the Trisquel GNU/Linux forums:
  https://trisquel.info/en/forum/abrowser-behaves-strangely-after-system-update
  
- I've tested Abrowser on three machine. On one of them (running Ubuntu
- 14.04 x64) , everything is fine. On the other two (both running 14.04
- x32), there is an almost instant segmentation fault. Interestingly, the
- segmentation fault is NOT instant if I load a non-default profile using
- something like:

  PS: for whatever it may be worth, after finding, downloading, and
  installing a .deb package from the FSF mirror of the Trisquel repos,  I
  can confirm that this bug doesn't affect version 38, just 39.
  
  Also: to my knowledge, the bug doesn't affect Firefox (although I've
  removed Firefox from my system in favor of abrowser, so I can't say for
- sure). I've tried to add abrowser to the list of packages, but the
- website has insisted on changing it to Firefox.
