Created attachment 929854 [details] SC showing the bug. Description of problem: the whole epiphany window freeze when loading some websites. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Epiphany = 3.12.1-3.fc21 WebKitGtk3 = 2.4.4-5.fc21 How reproducible: with "google.com" and "duckduckgo.com", always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open Epiphany. 2. type "google.com" or "duckduckgo.com" in the adress bar and hit enter. 3. try to open a new tab, open the menu or close the window. Actual results: whole window freeze. Expected results: should open websites without freeze. Additional info: see attachment. Tested also with some combinations of: 1. non-default configurations (popups, ads, plugins and save-passwords -> OFF). 2. empty ".config/epiphany" and ".cache/epiphany". 3. empty ".local/share/webkitgtk"
This is likely caused by the new eclipse web browser plugin. The plugin uses gtk3 but webkitgtk 2.4.x versions don't support gtk3 plugins and apparently just freeze up. It should be fixed with the switch to webkitgtk 2.5.x we're planning.
Err, *evince* web browser plugin.
Ok, thanks, Kalev. Anyway, some additional information: In Epiphany with default settings (checked with "dconf-editor"), and empty ".config/epiphany", ".cache/epiphany", ".local/share/webkitgtk", and opening "google.com", this is the terminal output: ------- (epiphany:3132): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.

No, that last warning indicates a minor bug in our ad blocker -- I think it's truncating a regex making it invalid, so some extra ads will get through. Anyway this should hopefully be fixed by epiphany-3.12.1-4.20140822gitb0af36e.fc21
Works like a charm with this Epiphany version and "webkitgtk4-2.5.3-3.fc21". Thanks, guys!
Good call Kalev, I would have never figured that out....
