Hello Jens, 
Since you already compiled Falkon, can you provide backtrace?
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
I am not sure if KCrash showed up, you might need to use some other option (I
use plain gdb).

I am unable to reproduce this on my machine. (I will try some virtual machine
later)
It could be that Falkon tries to start an external program (another web
browser?) to process the "site" protocol which is unknown to Falkon. And maybe
since it cannot find any program associated with it, well it crashes. (The
backtrace would help narrow down where it crashed)

Thank you for reporting.

PS: I remember here being another report that Falkon always tries to execute
stuff from addressbar with unknown protocol without asking the user. It could
be since there is no associated program to run it crashes, hard to say without
proper backtrace or testing.
