Using Fedora 36 with Edge Stable v104.0.1293.54
Signed-in with an account configured for 2FA, browser would crash soon after opening.
Deleted the ~/.cache/Microsoft folder and the browser is not crashing.
At the moment, however, it's also not syncing so that may be related.

    I guess sync is now disabled.

     

    For me, the only solution that works was to switch to flathub's distribution of Microsoft Edge.

      For me nothing works.

      If sync is enabled with my work account, it crashes seconds after starting. I've tried deleting the cache, config, I even installed a new VM and when I enable sync, it crashes again. 

       

      Is there a way to delete all the sync data from Microsoft servers? I think this is the only solution since Microsoft doesn't seems to care too much about this issue.

       

      Thanks,

        DarkMac yea well, I too think Microsoft doesn't seem to care about it. So I basically switched to their much supported distro Ubuntu 22.04; here all MS problems seem to fade away.
