Please provide more info.
1) What version of epiphany is this? What is the output of epiphany
--version? What is the output of "dpkg -l \*epiphany\* | grep ^ii"?
2) Do you get the segmentation fault under normal user account or is
the segmentation fault triggered only when you launch it under root
account?
For me epiphany 3.14.1 opens up normally under normal user account.
With root account, I see the following display error.
rajulocal@hogwarts ~/learning % su

root@hogwarts:/home/rajulocal/learning# epiphany
