I’m seeing this crash fairly regularly (although it’s not 100% reliably reproducible) since the update to Qt 5.2 (it was not occurring before). Running on x86-64 desktop.
Steps to reproduce:
- launch the browser app
- open the activity view, click on the new tab button
- type in any URL and validate, wait for the new page to finish loading
- open the activity view again
- long press on any of the two open tabs to switch to tabs closing mode
- click the last open tab: the crash happens there
Here’s the backtrace I’m getting when run in gdb:

I can reproduce with revision 460 of lp:webbrowser-app, which means that this regression is not a consequence of one of the recent changes in the app itself, but rather a consequence of the switch to Qt 5.2.
Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that the bug is in Qt itself either: the thumbnailer uses private headers, so it may very well be that the code is incorrectly using Qt (as far as I can tell there has been changes in this code between Qt 5.0 and Qt 5.2).
