Hello folks!

Please, install the liferea and liferea-mozilla packages from http://emilio.pozuelo.org/deb/ and run liferea with the following command:
liferea --debug-net --debug-verbose > liferea-net.log

Then crash liferea and attach the resulting file liferea-net.log

Thanks for your testing!

Hi David

Did you reinstalled the package from the url? Note that the package changed since the last time, though the version is the same. Please, if you didn't reinstalled it, do it and retest it :)

Thanks
Emilio

Hi Emilio,

Yes I reinstalled both packages from th url. I tried again now and this time rebooted before running the crash test - see new log attached.

Hi David.

Please, reinstall liferea again with the packages in http://emilio.pozuelo.org/deb/ and test. I think they fix your issue! It seems that a change in mozilla/mozembed.c caused this.

Thanks
Emilio
