Created attachment 477607 [details] Backtrace of one of the crashed tests I'm currently trying to upstream this WPE PR: https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEWebKit/pull/1584 To summarize: When constructing a QuirksManager, gstreamer may not be initialized yet, which would cause no quirks to be applied. Just trying to ensure init in the constructor as the PR proposes, showed a lot of tests crashing that used QuirksManager in the NetworkProcess to determine MIME type support. (See attachment) In my upstream PR, ive opted to just do a minimal init for any non-web process: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/54643
