Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

I'm using Epiphany and tried to remove Firefox from Ubuntu with no success: Epiphany depends on it. Liferea news reader too. But the Miro player wasn't going to be removed, and from what I know it uses some sort of Firefox built-in browser. Can it be possible to have something like on Miro player (not depend on Firefox)?

Also, I have messages and wizard dialogs of Firefox popping out when I'm using Epiphany that makes no sense or doesn't work as expected, specially regarding plugins installation.

As I'm using Epiphany, and not Firefox, either this dependancy is a bug or Epiphany has no consistent look and feel on Ubuntu.
