Segfault trying to create new profile

BackSeat

I'm trying to create a new profile. I've tried from the profile button, manage profiles, add profile, and I've tried from settings, address bar, manage profiles, add. In both cases I get

[1221/185952.893191:ERROR:elf_dynamic_array_reader.h(64)] tag not found
[1221/185952.894018:ERROR:elf_dynamic_array_reader.h(64)] tag not found
Segmentation fault

Trying to open the guest profile produces the same error.

I've disabled all extensions and the error persists.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks,
Keith

@Aaron Thanks, but I'm not sure what point you're making. As I said, I've tried that and I get a segfault each time.

Sorry if I've missed something here.

@BackSeat
I just show that I can create user profiles normally using the same Vivaldi version. I use Arch Linux.

@BackSeat I'm seeing seg faults in the same circumstances.

I'm pretty sure it started just when I upgraded my system from Ubuntu 24.04 to 24.10.

7.0.3495.29 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)

I've tried vivaldi snapshot and got the same problem (a couple weeks ago).

I've uninstalled Vivaldi, deleted ~/.config/vivaldi, installed again and created a new profile. I still get the same problem.

I've disabled all my extensions. Same problem.

I have no crashes with 7.0.3495.29 / Debian 12 KDE.

Installed as Snap, Flatpak or Deb package?
Which error messages in Linux's syslog when starting Vivaldi?
what happens if you start in shell as
vivaldi --user-data-dir=/tmp/VTESTVIVALDIV

Usually I don't use profiles, but I just checked and the browser crashes for me as well when I try to create a new profile, Vivaldi 7.0.3495.29 on Arch.
