Are you using a translated version of epiphany? If so, try this command from a terminal window:
LANGUAGE=C epiphany And see if the right initial page is showed. Here in my system the file /usr/share/ubuntu- artwork/home/locales/index-C.html exists and is a link to actual file, /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/firefox-index.html -- default homepage nonexistant https://launchpad.net/bugs/67586 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
