usage], so implementing it properly might take some time and won't be done
for v0.1 if at all.
== Troubleshooting
Configuration not saved after modifying config.::
When editing your config file manually, qutebrowser must be exited completely.
Either by issuing the command `:quit` or by pressing `ctrl+q`.
Unable to view flash content.::
If you have flash installed for on your system, it's necessary to enable plugins
to use the flash plugin. Using the command `:set content allow-plugins true`
in qutebrowser will enable plugins. Packages for flash should
be provided for your platform. Read any help documentation with regards to
installing flash from your operating systems. Flash can also be
obtained from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/[Adobe].
This can also be set manually in your config file located in
`~/.config/qutebrowser/qutebrowser.conf` on *nix systems. Before editing be
sure to exit completely. Locate the line `allow-plugins = false` and change
to `allow-plugins = true` save the file and load your browser and enjoy flash!
Experiencing freezing on sites like duckduckgo and youtube.::
When visiting some pages and you experience freezing and you are unable to close or
exit the browser. In some cases this can be solved by disabling plugins, or checking if you have
a package installed called mozplugger on your system. On Archlinux
and Debian/Ubuntu systems the package is called mozplugger. After removing the
package, you may need to also delete a few files in your home plugin dir. They are
named `~/.mozilla/plugins/mozplugger*.so`. Be sure to exit the browser completely before
removing any plugins manually. See https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues/357[Issue #357]
for more details.
Experiencing segfaults (crashes) on Debian systems.::
For Debian it's necessary to install the `gstreamer0.10-plugins-base` package.
This is a workaround for a bug in Qt, it has been fixed upstream in Qt 5.4
More details can be found
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119951[here].
Segfaults on Facebook, Medium, Amazon.::
If you are on a Debian or Ubuntu based system, you might experience some crashes
visting these sites. It's caused by a known bug in Qt. But resolved in Qt 5.4. However
Debian and Ubuntu are slow to adopt or upgrade some packages. There is currently no
way at this time to manually upgrade to Qt 5.4 without issue.
My issue is not listed.::
If you experience any segfaults or crashes, you can report the issue on
https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues[qutebrowser issues].
Be sure to read over how to create a stacktrace to report crashes of unknown cause
by visiting https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/blob/master/doc/stacktrace.asciidoc[reporting segfaults].
