Other information:
Adblock plugin from epiphany-extensions 1.6.0 makes epiphany crash when
closing the application.It doesn't matter how much I browse the web. The adblock
plugin actually works.
Comment 1 Adam Hooper 2005-03-16 02:27:17 UTC 
That's why adblock is not built by default.

The bug is a Mozilla one. You may also notice that the first time you enabled
Adblock, you had to re-start Epiphany for the extension to take effect.

Christian has written two patches to Mozilla which fix the issue completely.
They are available at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246092
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246085

Patch Mozilla with the patches from both of those, and recompile Mozilla; then
Epiphany will work like a charm, and adblock can be loaded/unloaded to your
heart's content.

Unfortunately, those bugs seem to have fallen into Mozilla's Bugzilla Black Hole
of Despair. Who knows when the patches will get reviewed/applied....

Today I updated firefox to 1.0.7-r2. Since that time the crashes seem to be gone!

Time to enable the extention in the ebuild per default?
Comment 3 bugzilla.gnome.org 2005-09-30 21:39:44 UTC 
no, sorry - still crashes. Don't know why it seemed to work for a short time 
right after the update of firefox
