Title:
  file:/// paths do not work any more

Status in Epiphany Browser:
  New
Status in “epiphany-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

  Upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic last autumn, where web browser 2.26.1 was able to resolve file:// URLs.  Now it is
  web browser 2.28.0 and file:// is not working any more.

  Was there a change in URL handling (extension, policy) without
  documentation I am able to find?  Or is it simply a bug in the browser
  (which I don't believe since there are no complaints).

  Help welcome,
  Klaus

  Reproduce with:

  file:/// => Unable to load page: Problem occurred while loading the
  URL file:///

  file://  => suggests file:///home/kr
  which is my home directory
           => Unable to load page: Problem occurred while loading the URL file:///home/kr
