LibreWolf v112.0-1 crashes under Windows 7
Issue:
I'm filing a report on this, since no one else has. There seems to a problem with LibreWolf v112.0-1 which makes it crash under Windows 7. I'm not running Win7 myself, but it came to my attention, when posted by a user in a forum where I'm registered.
Other users have reported the same issue @ Reddit, so it's not an isolated event: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/comments/12k9vxq/
Apparently, Firefox is unaffected by this issue.
Elaboration:
Posted by the forum member that I mentioned:
I updated to v112.0 and when I start LibreWolf I get this:
When I close that error nothing happens I can continue on with LibreWolf, but when I close LibreWolf I get that same error twice. Running it on Win7 SP1 x64.
Event Viewer gives me this in error section:
