Description Andres Gomez 2016-10-06 15:32:58 UTC 
From quite a long time I've been seeing this messages spit to the log from the WebKitWebProcess:

...
WebKitDOMNode* webkit_dom_node_append_child(WebKitDOMNode*, WebKitDOMNode*, GError**): assertion 'WEBKIT_DOM_IS_NODE(self)' failed
[repeats several times]
...

Specially, when restoring a closed session from Ephy.

I didn't report this before because of the particularities of my running Ephy, but I can still observe this with the distribution packages in current Debian Testing:

WebKit 2.12.5, Ephy 3.20.3

The only difference from a standard installation is that I have set the dconf key:

"process-model" = "shared-secondary-process"
Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2016-10-06 19:05:53 UTC 
OK, this function is only called from show_user_choices() in ephy-web-extension.c, so something is going wrong somewhere there-ish.
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2018-04-19 15:04:48 UTC 
This code will be removed in 3.29.2
