Epiphany resets all bookmarks and toolbars when computer crashes

[Sebastian Werk]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

When the computer crashes (i.e. out of power when watching DVD on notebook) with an open Epiphany browser, all bookmars are reset to those, Ubuntu came with (using 10.04, but same behaviour in 9.10) (Debian, Debian Bug tracking system, …) and all created bookmarks are gone. Furthermore the configuration of the toolbar is lost and reset as well.

Ubuntu version: 10.04 LTS
Browser version: 2.30.2-1ubuntu1

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME . Thanks in advance!

I can confirm this bug. It happen to me after my Laptop shut down cause battery was empty.
I am pretty sure that this is in the first was not a Epiphany problem this is a problem of Ubuntu cause
it does not wait for epiphany propper to close aplication! Ho ever if a System hang complete Epiphany
should not override something with default values.

This is indeed a problem. Does anyone know if future versions of Epiphany fix this?

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

My apologies, but I do not use Ubuntu anymore for a while now, so I can not give an update here.

Kind regards and thank you for your work.
