Bug#333341: epiphany crashing if started from thunderbird

[Michael Han]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.4.8-3

When trying to start epiphany from thunderbird it will crash if it is 
not already open and on the same desktop.

I filed the bug on the Gnome bugtracker as Bug 317321
"http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317321"

their bug status is now:
This is a bug in your distribution, please report it to debian.

wild guess is that it is because of a mixed up mozilla library.

pasted below is the info from the bugtracker:

Bugzilla-Component: General
Bugzilla-Version: 1.4.8

during starting epiphany.
