Bug#486136: Epiphany unable to read preferences

severity 486136 grave

thanks

Hi,
To me, epiphany is pretty much unusable now (thus severity 'grave').
It will remember neither passwords nor cookies, and every now and then
it even stops doing any new network connection, then I have to close the
browser and restart it. It also crashes on closing tabs with flash
applets, but I've already gotten used to pressing the home button before
closing a tab with flash in it...

When using a link to a protocol it doesn't know (try typing icq:1 into
the location bar), I can reproducibly get the following dialog (and I
didn't succeed in having it run an appropriate application for the link,
while it used to run /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/FOOBAR/command:

IMHO there are some grave incompabilities left for epiphany with
xulrunner 1.9

best regards,
