Bug#559420: epiphany-browser: Many types of files are not downloadable through Epiphany any longer

[Apelete Seketeli]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.29.3-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I can also confirm this bug, and the nasty consequence that many files are not
downloadable through Epiphany any longer: image and video files, as well as
archive files are being opened directly inside the browser (archive files
obviously fail to open though).
As said before the only solution is to copy the links and get the aforementioned
files with wget.
