***NOTE: Checking the ChangeLog just now, I see this is apparently a dup of 225795, which I am not authorized to access. Due to the fact I cannot view 225795, search does not find it, so I want to enter a **publicly visible** bug to document it for anyone else who experiences this issue. It is not at all clear to me why a regression would be marked restricted access in the bug database. I spent a couple days tracking this down; hiding bugs like this is not helpful. Based on the ChangeLog, I surmise the issue has been resolved, but due to lack of access to 225795, I don't know for sure. I'm building now to find out. Here are my findings: Since r277425, when I click on a link in a page after browser back, I get an Oops in epiphany. Steps to reproduce: 1) open https://zookeeper.stanford.edu/ 2) click on any link in the page 3) back 4) click on another link in page. Oops.

(If it's just a null pointer dereference, it's safe for it to be public. Bugs with dangling pointers should be private.)
This should be fixed by r277600 I guess?
(In reply to Frédéric Wang (:fredw) from comment #2) > This should be fixed by r277600 I guess? I was seeing this crash very frequently prior to r277600, but I don't see it anymore. It's probably fixed.
