Thank you for reporting.

As you use Kmail I assume you are using Plasma?

Which web browser is your default?

Comment 2 Flaviano Matos 2021-10-09 14:13:59 CEST 
My default browser is Firefox. I had the same problem some days ago opening Firefox from Latte-dock, so I think Firefox is the problem. I would rather close this report and open other with Firefox implicated.
Comment 3 Morgan Leijström 2021-10-09 18:53:13 CEST 
You could see if it helps for a while to set i.e chromium as the default browser and see if there is a difference.

Anyhow system should not freeze...
