[acg] Enabling Microsoft Sync in the Edge Browser on Linux causes it to crash

[Anthony Cuffe]

If you enable the "sync" feature in Microsoft Edge on RHEL 9, it will make the browser crash a few seconds after launch. If you enabled this feature, you can wait a few minutes, relaunch and then quickly disable the sync feature by clicking on the profile button in the upper right and then "signing out."  If you are unable to perform this, you can purge/move aside your edge profile and start over.

     cd  ~/.config
     mv microsoft-edge microsoft-edge-backup
     microsoft-edge

    You can then restore bookmarks and such from the backup.


I have updated the GNOME Tips page with this information.  Now that many of you are now sitting in front of RHEL 9 systems in the control room, I would remind you of the Tips page so that you can make the desktop experience a bit better.
