Description Josselin Mouette 2007-06-19 20:05:13 UTC 
[ forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/428344 from Daniel Burrows ]

If I have a home directory that's shared between two computers, and I
start epiphany on both of them, the second one that's started will offer
to "recover" the tabs from the first one.

8< ---------- 8< -----------

I'm not sure if it's really possible to fix this in a sane way. The submitter suggests a per-host session recovery file, but it would be just as obnoxious not to be able to restore a session from another host.

A possibility would be to use POSIX locks, but there are so many filesystems that report POSIX locking as working while in fact it doesn't...

This is a mass NEEDINFO of all Epiphany bugs with no activity in the past three years. I'm going to be automatically closing old bugs to help us focus on current problems. If you feel this bug is still relevant with Epiphany 3.26 or newer, then please leave any comment here so that I know not to close this one.

This is a mass-close of old bugs currently in the NEEDINFO state.

If you think this bug is still relevant, please leave a comment.
