I do not run Epiphany, so I can not point you to the correct file, but
most likely there will be a file that wasn't deleted correctly.

Perhaps you could open a terminal, run `epiphany` from there and see
if you find some information. If not, you can always post the output
here.

I wonder where this file might be? I have, of course, tried to delete just
about everything which have something to do with Epiphany i my /home. It
didn't help.

It gives me just no information at all. I have also done a strace, but the
output is 1) very long, and 2) I can't interpret it correctly. Once
Epiphany worked just fine -- but then I upgraded it using YaST, and since
then it's broken.

Here's some of the output from my strace:

That is strange. Try `epifany --help` or the like to learn what the
verbose version is.

I can use the flag "--version" at least, which gives me the answer "Gnome
epiphany 1.8.0". That's the version I try to use right now. But it seems
useless to start Epiphany with, for example, "--g-fatal-warnings" since it
dosen't report anything in the terminal. I haven't redirected standard
error somewhere else; it should show up in the terminal.
