Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Version - 2.18.1-0ubuntu1

When I start Epiphany I get a crash box - this is under the impression Epiphnay unexpectedly stopped - recover or don't recover windows and tabs. To the best of my knowledge there was no unexpected stoping of the software.

If I try to start through terminal I also get a Segmentation Fault (core dump).

I have uninstalled and reinstalled through Synaptic, I have also done so in terminal with purge.

I have removed the epiphany folder from /home/.gnome2.

Regardless of how I have uninstalled or reinstalled I always get the same error.

I have run a backtrace - I can't see a way to attach the txt file here - will add later
