After read the doc of bugs.gentoo.org to debug the error, use the dbg and no error show: 
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/epiphany 
(no debugging symbols found)
..
(no debugging symbols found)
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
(no debugging symbols found)
..
[New Thread 0x7f524ec22790 (LWP 24508)]
===> Here show error recover last tab's
(no debugging symbols found)
..
===> Here show that epiphany cannot start mozilla
Program exited normally.

Perhap's is for the last update of mozilla from mozilla-2.? to mozilla-3

Thank's and regards

[Comment 4 Joe Millenbach 2009-03-09 11:23:09 UTC]

(someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

I just looked at the guide that the original poster was asked to look at and one part I think you missed is that you must run emerge again on the package with FEATURES="nostrip" turned on in make.conf (or on the command line).  This will keep the debug symbols that gdb said it was missing in your output.  This is required to debug this issue correctly.

Also it says there are two more things that can be done to improve debugging.  Add  " -gddb " to your CFLAGS (and I assume CXXFLAGS if it doesn't just equal "${CFLAGS}") variables in make.conf.

And you can add the debug USE value into your make.conf.

After performing the above three steps please emerge epiphany again and see if you can reproduce the error.  After you're done debugging this you'll want to remove these options.  Every program will be much slower and larger on your disk if you don't.

[Comment 5 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2009-03-09 20:05:58 UTC]

FEATURES=splitdebug is better than FEATURES=nostrip

It spearates out the dbug symbols and installs them in /usr/lib/debug.  They can just be deleted later, if necessary.

damn I should have thought about it sooner, does it look like bug #247040 ?

[Comment 7 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-03-21 22:39:24 UTC]

please get back to us if your issue is different than bug #247040
