From the Epiphany bug report: "When passing file:// URI to the existing local directory, "Unable to load page" error is shown. Previously (in Gecko days) it showed list of the directory contents in the browser window... """ Unable to load page Problem occurred while loading the URL file:///home/plaes/code/sympy/doc/_build/html """ This URI works fine: file:///home/plaes/code/sympy/doc/_build/html/index.html"
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44261 will automatically :) fix this as the imported soup code will generate an HTML for directory URLs
