Bug#822261: epiphany-browser: "Oops! Something went wrong while displaying this page" on https://accounts.google.com

[Tobia Tesan]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.14.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
    when I direct my browser to gmail.com I am redirected to
https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin, which results in a "Oops! Something
went wrong while displaying this page" error message.
As a result, I can't log into any Google service nor web sites which use Google
authentication.

My jessie install is very fresh (less than 48hrs);
I tried creating a fresh user account to no avail.
I tried checking and unchecking the various options (Allow/disallow plugins,
popups...) to no avail.
I tried clearing cookies, nothing.

This behaviour is apparently the same reported by the OP on this thread:
http://superuser.com/questions/1056004/why-cant-i-sign-into-the-google-
services-using-the-epiphany-browser

Interestingly, everything seems to work fine in incognito mode - and, of
course, in Iceweasel.

Thanks
