Public bug reported: Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625415 After starting-up Epiphany, I had found that by clicking on the Bookmarks toolbar, Epiphany would start downloading cookies from some of my bookmarked sites. A Security Certificate alert window would also pop- up, because Epiphany was connecting to a bookmarked site which had a problem with its certificate. I investigated further to find the set of actions which seemed to cause this: 1. Enable "Auto Reload Tab" & "Favicon Falllback" extensions 2. Go to these 3 example webpages (safe), then Add Bookmarks for them: (a) WhatIsMyIP.com - http://www.whatismyip.com (b) Geek To Live article - http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/partition-and-image-your-hard-drive-with-the-system-rescue-cd-292972.php (c) SecureIX - https://www.secureix.com/config.shtml <- has problem with website's Security Certificate 3. Reload the 3 webpages again by visiting them via Bookmarks. 4. Clear browser cache ("Temporary Files"), clear history, delete all cookies. Then close Epiphany. 5. Start Epiphany, then open Personal Data cookies window (empty with blank homepage) 6. Click on Bookmarks toolbar to see drop-down list, or open Bookmarks window <- this triggers the odd behaviour => I will see "Connect to untrusted site" alert for SecureIX => I will see cookies for lifehacker.com and whatismyip.com added to my Personal Data cookies window => Disabling "Auto Reload Tab" & "Favicon Falllback" extensions at this point will not help ------------------------------- Another problem: When Epiphany kept bugging me abt SecureIX, I told Epiphany to "always trust" the Certificate. When I wanted to undo this, I could not. Using "Certificate Manager", when I tried to delete the certificate, the "OK" & "Cancel" buttons did not work.
