Are you using Epiphany as a frontend, or the actual Firefox binary --
just by the by?

This *might* have something to do with the OJI code in Firefox, which
seems slightly unforgiving on errors.

If you edit the mozconfig-firefox file in bootstrap/firefox/files and
add the line:

ac_add_options --disable-oji

to it, then run:

'make makesums' followed by 'make install' in the bootstrap/firefox
directory, it might at least quieten down somewhat.

Just a stab in the dark,
