that sounds like what people get when they set their homepage to example.com.

have you tried setting your homepage using the browser's menu?

in my version of epiphany (not the same as yours) the homepage setting is located under Edit >> Preferences >> General.

do you mean "...open the link in an already-open browser window, in a new tab?

if so, you might try replacing that line in epiphany.desktop that you edited with this line, instead:

Exec=epiphany --new-tab %U

if your present value for that Exec key does indeed cause the undesirable behavior you describe, this might work.

does it?
