Bug#986338: epiphany-browser: hangs after some navigation

[Philip Stewart]

Seems I'm experiencing the same with 3.38.2-1 on bullseye with a fresh 
install of epiphany.

After a couple of minutes visiting a single, relatively light website 
(newspaper, no embedded media), epiphany locked up my machine, 
requiring a hard reset. The only message in journalctl coinciding with 
the freeze for me is:

org.gnome.Epiphany.desktop[19956]: (WebKitWebProcess:2): Gdk-WARNING 
**: 21:18:08.020: Failed to read portal settings: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name 
org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files

Cheers,
Phil
