Description Debarshi Ray 2015-04-22 14:42:44 UTC 
WebKit2 assumes g_get_user_cache_dir()/g_get_application_name() as its cache directory and deletes anything it doesn't recognize to prevent cache leaks. We should explicitly set a cache directory to prevent this behaviour from blowing away our own cache.

See: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144042

This is not an issue with WebKit1.
