This is a long-standing bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374630) which I reported again yesterday when I encountered a web page (http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200210/ports.html) which crashed not only Ephiphany, but also Galeon. To be fair, the web page -- like so many, including many pages of the WordPress Codex -- appears to have composed without giving the slightest thought to the possibility that someone might like to print out a copy. When you print it with Firefox, the lines are truncated on the right-hand side, even if right and left margins are set to zero. This may be a contributing factor in the crashes with Epiphany and Galeon. Someone needs to publish a HOWTO on printer-friendly web pages.
