[bug] browser crashes because of missing favicon.ico

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 4 comments

On my Jolla1 the browser crashed directly after launching.

During debugging the issue I saw in the logs this line

[W] unknown:34 - file:///usr/share/sailfish-browser/pages/components/FavoriteItem.qml:34:5: QML FavoriteIcon: Error decoding: http://maps.skobbler.de/favicon.ico: Unable to read image data

After deleting all my bookmarks the browser worked as normal.

From what I see the browser saves the url of the favicon.ico as reverence for the Bookmark icon. If this reverence is gone the Browser stops working for the user.

Is there maybe a solution to not let a) keep that happen b) bee the solution/workaround to delete bookmarks

Thanks in advance

Icons are fetched and saved to avoid this kind of errors. I could not reproduce the issues with 2.1.0.x. What is the OS version that you're using?

Happen yesterday with my Jolla1 on latest cbeta RC

Ancient bug and should no longer happen as we icons are saved locally.
