Instant crash on MacOS when starting the browser. I see my window and tabs come up and can read the URL in the URL bar... no page content shows... then the browser crashes immediately.

How can I help provide info? Obviously I can't use the help/feedback menu since the browser is crashing.

[#3]

Tablet mode is gone in this build.

[#4]

 In case anyone else has this problem on MacOS, I was able to find the prior version of Edge Dev in my home directory and was able to re-install it:

Library/Application Support/Microsoft/EdgeUpdater/apps/msedge-dev/116.0.1938.29

[#5]

@stevexyz You're lucky. I can't find version 116 anywhere. My titlebar contrast is horrible now and it's no longer using my Windows accent color.

[#6]

Not sure what changed there but the Android version is basically a complete disaster that crashes in less than 10 seconds after loading up a page. Doesn't happen on every page, but a lot of them.

[#7]

Same, edge canary (tablet) doesnt' work !

[#8]

@Eric_E 

Why are some items red ?

Please see this screenshot :

of course, they are the unavailable tools at the moment, but before, they got the same color...

@Eric_E 

I have reported the following via the in-app "Send feedback":

• Cosmetic bug in Edge Dev 117 version: On the WhatsApp app site (https://web.whatsapp.com/), numerous interface elements are rendered with a white drop shadow outline around them since the update to this browser version. This issue does not occur in either Edge or Chrome browsers.

Examples:

 

[#10]

Same here, it's basically useless now.

[#11]

Since this build, my Settings > Profiles > Passwords page is blank. Disabled extensions, rebooted several times. No change.

[#12]

Same here on 2 Gentoo Linux systems using microsoft-edge-dev-117.0.2007.0. I reverted to microsoft-edge-dev-116.0.1938.29 and the password screen is working again.

[#13]

Lost all profiles. How do I get them back? On Windows 11.

[#14]

@Eric_E Here is my ms edge insider: 

[#15]

- Blank edge://settings/passwords page.
- Lost Windows accent color on title bar, now it's always gray. Note this does not happen when vertical tabs are enabled. Please share some insights on intentions.
- Title bar often does not respond to double-clicking, dragging, or right-clicking. Requires minimizing and restoring the window to be responsive again.

[#16]

The browser UI is so broken with this release. There are 2X now to close the browser tabs, the favourite bar is twice the size now.

[#17]

@Sumit Dhiman Facing the exact same issue today. It was fine the entire week.

[#18]

You can also right-click on the tabs to fix it. Found it out the hard way.

Found the problem - Touch mode in Appearance Settings was set as Auto, turning it off fixed the issue.
