Epiphany's default start page is an inexistent local file

[David Planella]

I've noticed that when loading epiphany, the default page is set to file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html, which doesn't seem to exist.

I guess the best thing to do would be to set the start page to start.ubuntu.com

Changing to correct package

I believe this was "fixed" with Epiphany 3.3.4 which no longer supports a home page setting. A future version of Epiphany is supposed to have a fancy new tab page (similar to Internet Explorer 7+ or Gedit 3.3 with the new dashboard gedit-plugin activated).
