On Fedora 40 running Wayland GNOME 46.x with Intel Kabylake graphics, this crash occurs 2 to 3 seconds after loading the page (no scrolling, just looking at the top of the page):

$ /usr/libexec/webkitgtk-6.0/MiniBrowser https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/

MESA-INTEL: warning: ../src/intel/vulkan/anv_formats.c:763: FINISHME: support YUV colorspace with DRM format modifiers
MESA-INTEL: warning: ../src/intel/vulkan/anv_formats.c:794: FINISHME: support more multi-planar formats with DRM modifiers

(WebKitWebProcess:2): GStreamer-WARNING **: 14:45:58.556: External plugin loader failed.
This most likely means that the plugin loader helper binary was not found or could not be run.
You might need to set the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable if your setup is unusual.
This should normally not be required though.

** (MiniBrowser:11338): WARNING **: 14:45:59.885: WebProcess CRASHED

---------

This happens on Epiphany Nightly (flatpak), Epiphany 46.3 from Fedora, and the minibrowser command above.

Gonna need crash backtrace...

And I don't think this is GStreamer-related, the warning mentioned is not critical.

Backtraces

Here is my attempt at getting backtraces by running the minibrowser command with gdb and navigating to the affected webpages.

I ran a "bt full" and then a "thread apply all bt".

[Philippe Normand]

that seems to be the MiniBrowser stack, not the WebProcess :)

[Michael Catanzaro]

This will probably turn out to be bug #278569, but there's no way to know for sure until we have a web process backtrace.

You're wasting your time. Just use 'coredumpctl gdb'.

As kdwk was able to reproduce this issue, it really sounds like bug #260455 then.
