[Bug 61922] [edgy] javascript weirdness in epiphany

[aurelien naldi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

I have some strange behaviour for javascript-using webpages in epiphany.
As an example, gmail works properly except that I can not actually view
any email (the mail is marked as read but I stay in the list). In the
same vein, neither google-calendar nor google-maps do anything usefull.

I had this problem with both epiphany and firefox, now it works fine with firefox but not with epiphany.
It also does not work for a new user without any configuration files.
The strangest thing is that the very same(s) google account works just fine on another edgy system, still with epiphany!
(and it did work fine on the same system under dapper)

I really do thing something weird is wrong with firefox/gecko/epiphany
on my system, as somme other website using javascript do not work on
_this_ system (like authenticating into ldlc.com, a french hardware
vendor). All these sites works fine with firefox or mozilla.

I do not have xulrunner installed and already tryied "apt-get install
--reinstall" epiphany and firefox without success.

Any hint about a possible culprit ?
