I installed Seamonkey 2.53.15-1.8-x86_64 a few weeks ago. When I open links in a new tab and click on this tab, Seamonkey crashes and in the journal I sea a coredump started.
What happens?
Open youtube.
Open youtube link in new tab
Click on tab.
Seamonkey freezes.
Seamonkey disappears.
Looking at journalctl coredump ends with these lines
feb 16 17:11:58 monch systemd[1]: systemd-coredump@7-585-0.service: Deactivated successfully.

This seems to happen with every page with multimedia on it that directly wants to start. Newspaper sites have adds on them. When they become visual the multimedia starts and Seamonkey crashes.
Opening a youtube video crashes Seamonkey for sure.
Today opensuse update with about 3700 packages. Including a new Seamonkey update to seamonkey-2.53.15-1.14.x86_64
Directly after reboot I tried Seamonkey and youtube. No difference. Start Youtube, no problem. Opening a video, crash.
No such problem with either of my SeaMonkey profiles, but mine comes from upstream directly here: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.53.15/linux-x86_64/
I’ve been using this installation method since before it acquired its current name, which had been Mozilla, from which Firefox was forked.
Also, I’m running it on Leap and haven’t tried on TW…
If using extension(s), which one(s)? Have you tried disabling any or all of any you do have?
I didn’t try to disable any exentions. Good tip. I try that later tomorrow.
I have all these extensions for a long time and never had a problem. But it’s good to try if this resolves my issue.
I have the same issue, Seamonkey crashes on various web pages. I was also disabled all addons and it did not help. Look like it started happening after latest updates. I experiencing this issue on Leep as well as on Tumbleweed. Any help is much appreciated.
Today I was trying to find any consistency in browser crash. I have two example URL’s. On following one seamonkey just crashes with memory violation exception:
On the following URL: Centrum24 - Logowanie | Santander Bank Polska (dawniej BZWBK), it crashes with additional information:
WebGL(0x7f4a51953000)::ForceLoseContext
WebGL(0x7f4a56740800)::ForceLoseContext
I hope it will be helpful to investigate further. In case there is a need for additional information, just need instructions what to do.
Today I installed version 2.53.16-1.1. Opening links of Youtube works again. Just tried a few minutes ago. Still have to try other sites. But happy already.
