Bug Description

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

When launching epiphany by using a link or a bookmark from deskbar applet a different user profile appears to be used. For instance, no bookmarks are present, and the various toolbars revert to their default arrangement. This also appears to happen when launching only the epiphany executable by typing epiphany in the deskbar.

This happens for me too. For instance every time I type "ubuntu wiki" into the deskbar Epiphany pops up a message about a secure connection (which should only happen once ever), I am not logged into the Wiki although I normally am, no bookmarks are present, etc.

I think this is a dup of bug #75461. When you logout then quickly login again, deskbar gets some stale environment variables and any programs launched by it are affected. One of those variables is the D-BUS socket path. When epiphany can't connect to D-BUS it can't make sure it is the only instance running, and so disables the profile to avoid corruption.

Does it happen every time or after a new login as pointed by Gustavo?
