There's already a bug open about that. I believe it's filed on control-
center. This bug should be marked as a dup of that one.

I realized why this happens now. When the html file is local, the local
mime properties determines which application opens the file. So if
select an .html file in nautilus, select preferences-Open_with, then
select epiphany, then fie:/// urls are then opened by epiphany.
This make sense -- it
I set it as default for my account (not for the entire machine) using
System-Preferences-Preferred_Applications. This causes http:// urls
to be openned by epiphany, but seems not to work for file:///. I don't
think I should be using 'sudo update-alternatives' for this -- it is an
account-wide
Did you set epiphany as default in sudo update-alternatives --config
gnome-www-browser.
might also wanna check sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser.
