How to quickly restart the stock browser?
Hi, the stock browser is great for playing webm files, except when it isn't and throws the "Mime Type Not Supported" error.
This can be fixed by restarting Lipstick, but it's a pain to have to do that when all that's really required is to kill whatever process is blocking the video playback device.
Are there any easy ways to do this?
Specifically: What Lipstick child-process do I need to kill?

doesn't free up the graphics device, it just closes the browser child UI process as far as I understandIn that case, my apology. It always helps me. Your problem must be different.

tetris11 ( 2016-08-25 00:47:16 +0300 )editNo - to be honest, I did not even know what webm was. But I have had a whole spectrum of other issues with the browser getting stuck. For example, when I close the browser after a long browsing sessuon, it would not open the next day. It wod just spin for a while and then disappear. Killing sailfish-browser cures it, although to be honest life is too short to struggle with the OS on almost a daily basis. Most of the tme I just reboot the damn phone and get on with my life.
