I use Fedora KDE Plasma 41. I started using Falkon as my secondary browser several months ago for random use cases. Since the beginning of use, I find that every time I simply close the browser, the Problem Reporting application reports Application Crash with ‘falkon quit unexpectedly’. It’s kind of odd that it would report this when I am the one closing the application, it didn’t quit unexpectedly.
I have tried using the Problem Reporting application to report the bug but it looks as if it is trying to report to Redhat Bugzilla and fails every time because it doesn’t like my API key, even though it has not expired and is valid. That application is a piece of donkey doo.
Has anyone else experienced this bug with Falkon? And, how can I effectively report this to KDE Bugtracking, with logs and all needed, in an attempt to report this so that it can get fixed?
Thanks.
Ok, so I’m not actually answering the question about the donkey doo 
but Falkon seems to behave itself for me right now.

But most important is to make sure it’s a real bug; I would suggest you verify this error in a new profile - make TEST user, log in and try it there.
Perhaps check and remove any USER data in your profile if it works well in TEST user.
Also bring it up in a Fedora forum - as for the Problem Reporting appication, I’m not actually sure as I haven’t used it… but opening the web page I notice there’s a new template, so I’d just copy/paste that here and discuss it first…
***
If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org
If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
Please remove this comment after reading and before submitting - thanks!

SUMMARY
However, it might be easier to post here first and get someone to hand-hold and see if they can sort it.

Good recommendation on creating a new user. The new user didn’t have the issue, so apparently there is something wrong with Falkon in my profile.
I’ll work with that to see if I can find the culprit in my profile.
Thanks.
