Bug Description

if i launch epiphany-browser from the show applications menu layout it opens only one window, as in one instance of the browser.

but if i launch epiphany-browser from the dock it opens two windows, as in two instances of the browser.

this occurs only with epiphany-browser & none of the other items in the dock.

just did a fresh install of 20.04 to confirm the bug.

i can surely concur that when launched from the dock epiphany-browser open 2 windows every time instead of one.

all other apps added to the dock as favorites open only 1 window but epiphany-browser opens 2 instances / 2 windows of the browser every time.

when launched from the applications menu it opens only one window as it should.
it is only when launched from the dock that it opens with 2 instances.
