The possibility if setting a homepage was removed, and replaced by the
overview on Epiphany 3.4.

There is an open bug however, with a patch that allows configuring a
fixed homepage through a gsettings 'homepage-url' variable.

This patch was pushed on the kiosk-mode branch (based on 3.8), and has
been rebased for master recently (it would probably need to be refreshed
again after the last changes).
https://git.gnome.org/browse/epiphany/commit/?h=kiosk-mode&id=3d143c0209e755d98c0bbc650ab0ad168e2b5fa6

So you could either patch your version adapting those changes or add
your comments to the bug.
