Bug Description

Everytime I start epiphany it crashes saying:

Epiphany can't be used now. Mozilla initialization failed.

I'm using dapper with latest firefox and epiphany packages, updating every
couple of hours.

This happens to me on the latest version of epiphany from dapper drake. I've
isolated it to the epiphany extensions.

With the extensions installed this is the error:
epiphany: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/epiphany/1.9/extensions/libbookmarkstrayextension.so: undefined symbol:
ephy_bookmarks_menu_new

Without the extensions installed (i.e. synaptic remove) epihpany loads and runs.

I do not have epiphany-extensions installed, and it still crashes.

What architecture do you use? Could you copy "dpkg -l epiphany\*" to a comment?
