Comment 35 for bug 220628

Thomas, you're right, flashblock wasn't it. It's strange though that it worked for me for about two weeks with that new upgraded version but now I have the same crash again. Are you using KDE 4.X? What may be involved is that I just changed nvidia drivers last night and it's started crashing since. I'm using the nvidia 180.22 drivers, upgraded from 180.16.

I still haven't ruled out QtCurve though, so I'm upgrading to the latest (0.60 from the notz ppa) and will see how that works. I'm shocked so few people have this problem and it's persisted as long as it has being as totally intermittent as it has been, as well.

It also seems to only happen when I get enough tabs to have to scroll through them on the tab bar on the window (the last crash was 2 windows, 140 tabs); that doesn't seem to cause the crash, but it never seems to be able to get off the ground after it either crashes unrelatedly or being closed.

I'm also using an nvidia geforce 8600 GT. What card and drivers are you using? I've had problems with the 8XXX series and the nvidia drivers for about the last year--maybe the bug is somewhere in the combination of bad driver version(s) and 8XXX series of cards.
