Bug 292573 – www-client/epiphany-2.28.1 doesn't save passwords

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Pacho Ramos 2009-11-09 20:02:14 UTC]

I am not sure what info do you need, I am simply unable to record passwords with epiphany-2.28 while it worked fine with 2.26:

Seems an upstream problem :-/
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582267

[Comment 2 Nirbheek Chauhan (RETIRED) 2009-11-09 21:55:40 UTC]

This and other problems (proxy support, ftp support, python plugins) with epiphany-2.28 mean that it won't go stable.

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2009-11-09 22:22:16 UTC]

Yes, I know, I am using it since some days for testing purposes to try to get bugs send to upstream when possible (frequently lots of crashes). I have sent this one downstream to let you know about the problem, as seems an important regression (at least for me)

Best regards

Yeah it can't save passwords from web forms, this was in the changelog or NEWS or something like that.
