Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany

Using the 9.10 release candidate, I installed epiphany-webkit and it ran fine. I then installed epiphany-extensions and now the browser fails to come up. The console shows many "error while compiling regular expression" errors and the program eventually segfaults. I have attached a log of one attempt to run the browser.

As it turns out, the problem was the older rules for the adblock extension. When I cleared those rules and created new ones the browser started working.
