Sailfish Browser crashes after removing ~/.mozilla and some more paths

Please use Sailfish utilities (Jolla Store) to check if using second option -home screen- helps in resolving too, then I would assume a memory problem.

Thanks, I didn’t had the reflex to restart lipstick. Next time it happens, I’ll do it and report the result here.

#4

I confirm that restarting lipstick solves the problem temporarily.
Up to now, it seems that the problem appears only after video playback inside the browser.

I encountered this bug with 4.1.0.24 on the Xperia 10 ii. It is cumbersome because restaring lipstick (aka homescreen) with Sailfish utilities crashes on the Xperia 10 ii - a possible cause could be the file browser because instances of Gallery opened with the file browser are not closing after closing file browser
