[Bug 1936642] [NEW] Browsers crash on Kubuntu LTS 20.04

[Guillaume Smietanski]

Public bug reported:

Hello everybody

I installed Kubuntu LTS 20.04 on several computers using either an ISO
USB key (so from crash except for the /home directories) or upgrading an
LTS 18.04 version.

With all install, I have the same problem: Firefox and Chromium crash
regularly (but also randomly) when I try to open a new tab or load a
webside.

I use startpage.com as search engine, when I click on the middle button
on Firefox, it should open the webside on a new tab and fast
systematically firefox crashes, if I click on the left button, it
crashes not so often but can also crash.

I tried to start firefox with the safe mode: no impact. I found on
internet some special configurations but none correct the issue.

Due to the fact that Chromium also crashes and that the problem appears
on several computer, I guess that the problem is linked to a library
used by the both browsers.

I searched on internet but I don't see anything to resolve my problem.

What should I do ?
Thanks a lot for any comments/helps.
Best regards,
Guillaume.
