Bug Description

After a system crash, Chromium opens two dialog boxes showing

"You profile could not be opened correctly"

It doesn't offer any further explanations, and doesn't try to fix it by itself. I found out that I have to remove "~/.config/chromium/Default/{Web Data,History}". Then, I can use Chromium normally. However, the data in those files is lost.

Instead, Chromium should write to those files in a way that the data cannot be get corrupted in a crash. Until this is realised, Chromium should at least offer to remove the corrupted files by itself.

Issue was not confirmed here by another user.
Upstream task is 'open' but untriaged, and refers to
Ubuntu 14.10 and Chromium 41.
Ubuntu task won't expire due to upstream task so closing.
