Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
PROBLEM: Epiphany saves downloaded files to the root file system by
default. Note that by default it cannot actually do so, as it does not
have read/write permissions to that directory. Instead it just stalls
and can't save anything.
FURTHER PROBLEM-NESS: While using Edit -> Preferences to change the
folder to download things to works, closing Epiphany and starting a new
instance will result in its having reverted to the undesirable behavior
(trying to save to the root file system).
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Epiphany will remember where I tell it to save
downloaded files, and will have a default behavior (like saving files to
the desktop) that actually makes sense.
HYPOTHESIS: Epiphany's failure to remember my preferences may be the
result of some interaction between Epiphany and the GNOME Global Menu
Applet that I have installed. Trying to save downloaded files to the
root file system doesn't seem to make sense, though.
Using Mint 7 (based on Ubuntu 9.04), and Epiphany 2.26.1 with the Gecko
1.9 backend.
