thanks for the hint, the reason was an older NSS.
I just updated NSS from 3.23.0 to 3.47.0. That did fix the startup crash here.

very well; this now makes my simplebrowser opening most of url pages (only in Incognito Window mode). *Sometime during browsing the system traps but is an effective improvement from the previous situation
*Edit: traps all the times after some minutes of browsing

"SYS1195 The statement KAI_AUTOMODE on line 188 of the config.sys is not recognized. Line 188 is ignored. Press Enter to continue"
Have to say that I tried to work with this some time ago for fixing the multimedia play without audio in Firefox -while no problem with a media player-. It has something to do with the audio drivers compatibility in Virtualbox, it is setted on Suondblaster 16 which I believe are the standard audio drivers given with OS2, I did not succeed to obtain any result with the Uniaud drivers installation (KAI_AUTOMODE goes with Uniaud right?) even changing the virtualbox audio filter possibilities
Dave Yeo:
You need, SET KAI_AUTOMODE=DART in your config.sys, the SET command puts it in your environment. It is actually for libkai, to quote, "K Audio Interface v2.1.0. DART/UNIAUD implementation library." it can use DART or Uniaud but the Uniaud support is broken.
The browser itself seems to be awfully memory hungry. Might help to SET QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS=--single-process.
As for needing to use incognito mode, sounds like your profile is damaged. Delete the files in home,
".local/share/QtExamples/simplebrowser/QtWebEngine" and ".cache/QtExamples/simplebrowser/QtWebEngine". Without the quotes, home is usually in your boot disk under x:\home.

yes, my mistake, I missed to type SET in the command line. Now system boots with no error messages, but still no audio when playing video in Firefox (or simplebrowser now)

this makes simplebrowser behaving as described by Tom before: the browser window quit itself just two seconds away from opening. Better without this line, in my system.

found C:/.local/share/QtExamples/simplebrowser/QtWebEngine and removed all contents inside QtWebEngine directory (subfolders and files inside, then rebooted, now all same as before) but no path exists in my system as C:/.cache/QtExamples/simplebrowser/QtWebEngine.

In the testversion from 1 year ago was a script cleanup-caches.sh to do that. Looking inside that script I see the directories %HOME%/.local/share/QtExamples/simplebrowser/QtWebEngine and %HOME%/.cache/QtExamples/simplebrowser/QtWebEngine . So it depends upon where your environment variable HOME points to. Usually not the root directory of a drive.
