When I open Chromium the tabs do not load (even the New Tabs). First, I tried to remove (actually, rename) ~/.config/chromium to chromium_old and nothing got better. Then I purged and removed all chromium-browser vestige in my laptop. I reinstalled Chromium and tabs are still not working (included Bookmarks, about: ,etc.)
I can surf the web without any problem in Opera Midori and Firefox.
I am using 10.0.614.0 (69504) Ubuntu 10.10, the problem started yesterday by the night (UTC) when I updated as everyday my chromium-browser packages. Since the problem started I'd updated only once my browser.
