Description AlexM 2013-11-27 08:39:16 UTC

If I try to access mail.yahoo.com with the WebKit engine and with plugins activated, the processor goes up to 60-70% and the browser becomes unresponsive, needing to be killed. Deactivating plugins or changing to KHTML "solves" the problem, but this is not a solution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just access mail.yahoo.com.



Since Konqueror does not have fine-grained control over individual plugins, I cannot tell which one causes problems. Nevertheless, the exact behaviour happens with Rekonq 2.3.2 on KDE 4.11.2, under OpenSUSE 13.1. Again, deactivating plugins solves the issue. Since Rekonq also depends on WebKit, this may suggest that this is a WebKit bug. Not true, since QupZilla, Epiphany and Midori (which are WebKit-based) do not exhibit this behaviour, even with plugins enabled. (Firefox too displays the page without problems.)

See bug 328135 (the same bug, but for Rekonq).

I can reproduce this with the yahoo page so long as loading flash plugin is not set to on demand. I will have to debug what the source of this bug might be since the same problem does not seem to happen with QupZilla.
