Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.22.3-3

I believe the bugs #486136 (crash on password manager) and #494348 (doesn't remember password) are the same.
I figure they are caused by some upgrading issues with some version that was in experimental?

Anyway, here's a backtrace for the password manager crash:

I've tried removing my prefs.js file, it didn't change anything at first.

By now I've moved my prefs.js back in place and everything seems to work again?
(I was trying to debug the warning with strace). Cookies and passwords are back.
So somehow it has self-healed itself now.
