Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Epiphany has an option to automatically download and open files. This option has lost effect in at least 2.21.4-0ubuntu3. Files silently go to the Downloads folder now.

It turns out that this upstream fix still causes a confirmation dialog to be presented rather than auto-downloading.

I found that adding the following additional diff helps:

I've posted this on the upstream bug report to see if I'm along the right lines, or if there was just some problem with my "backported" fix.
