What issue are you seeing?

Codex crashes whenever browser content is opened or used. Three crash reports from 17 July 2026 show EXC_BAD_ACCESS / SIGSEGV in the embedded Chromium browser main thread, CrBrowserMain.
The crashing stack is within the embedded browser’s Chromium/V8/Node runtime, including v8impl::Reference::InvokeFinalizerFromGC() and Node/libuv symbols.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex.
2. Start or use a task that invokes browser content/browser tools.
3. Codex crashes while the browser content is loading or active.

What is the expected behavior?

Browser content should open and remain usable without crashing the Codex desktop app.
