Open the "prefs21.db" file using an editor. You can use tools such as SQLite Browser or DB Browser for SQLite. Find the following value in the "updateconfig" table: 'qt_webkit', '{"profile": true}' Replace it with: 'qt_webkit', '{"profile": true, "args": ["--disable-gpu", "--disable-gpu-compositing"]}' Save the file and close the editor.
