Public bug reported:
The GNOME Web/Epiphany Web Browser 'Preferences' screen locks onto the
foreground, forbidding any action in the background web browser windows.
This is not generally an issue until/unless the user wants to set up the
Firefox Sync service, located within Preferences, which in turn requires a
verification link sent via email to be opened up within the browser. If the
user does not have another browser installed and/or an email client with
built-in browser set up, the user is forced into downloading, installing, and
using another browser temporarily to sign in.
