No stable browser:[

[whatthefunk]

Web browsers are giving me massive headaches in this release. Chromium doesnt start half the time, crashes constantly, and sometimes freezes. Firefox also doesnt start sometimes, and crashes every 30 seconds or so. Rekonq is slightly better than the others giving me, on average, about five minutes of browser time before crashing. Is anybody else having these problems?

[claydoh]

No, but I only use Rekonq for a couple of things, mainly to access my router's config, my qbittorrent web interface, and other "local" jobs.

FF seems ok for me, but even Chrome (stable) seems, in the past few days, to have a problem with slow scrolling. No crashes here...

No issues using FF. Chromium, on my 64-bit install, will, at varying intervals, just terminate. I have a thread on that.

I haven't had either browser (Firefox or Chrome) fully crash, but on one site flash continually crashes on Chrome. Only on that one site so far.

No issues noted here with firefox 28.0 under trusty 14.04 beta with kde 4.12.90. I have run chromium at the house with the same configuration for periods of an hour or so at a time and it seemed ok as well.

cheers,

I had that problem for awhile and traced it to video problems with the ring buffer. It was caused by the default acceleration method being set to "SNA", which is faster than "UXA", but not stable.
I created /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put the following in it:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection

I haven't had any browser freezes or 3D screen artefacts since then.
