[kmymoney] [Bug 396831] 5.0 Version - Crashes when importing OFX/QFX File Using Firefox

[Brendan Coupe]

Jack,

I'm not getting anything in ofxlog.txt on either computer no matter which
account I download to. I also have a /home/thb folder on one of my
computers and nothing is going into it either. I forget what that was for,
it's been there for years. I'm sure Thomas can remind me. I'm running from
the master branch on both computers.

Jeff,

I try not to share anything too specific but yes this is Citi Visa,
specifically the Costco Visa card. By the way, I kept saying Citibank when
I was talking to tech support and they kept telling me it's just Citi or
Citi Cards. That they could help me with☺

Did your problem start in the past 2 or 3 weeks?

What version of KMM are you running?

I was thinking about going back to 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 but it's probably not
worth the trouble if this is affecting a lot of people. It feels like a
bank issue.
