Under Fedora 9 (but no earlier release, iirc) Galeon 2.0.5
crashes on launch if there is a tab open to certain sites.
Most are nonce sites, which I want one look at and then let go;
so I don't know how consistently they produce the crash. One that I
monitor several times a day, though, is the PATC Trails Forum, http://
www.hypernews.org/HyperNews/get/trails/PATC.html
The same does not happen in Firefox (2 nor 3), nor in Epiphany; I
can open that forum in any of them, leave it open 24/7, and refresh it ad
libitum.
Whenever it crashes, bugbuddy produces a report. I always tell it
what I was doing, and send it off -- whereupon, apparently, it evaporates
into cyberspace.
I don't know if there is any way to downgrade F9's Galeon to
2.0.4, or upgrade F8's to 2.0.5; those might tell something.
Gmane.comp.web.galeon.user hardly ever seems to have fresh posts
any more; there was a rumor that it was to merge back into Epiphany, but
I haven't seen any more about that, either.
