Looks like it:

TZAV> ps ax | grep dbus
 1435  -  Is       0:00.02 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --sess
 1434  2- I        0:00.01 dbus-launch --autolaunch=fb0372ea595109904f5a068e00000180 --binary-synta
TZAV> epiphany

** (epiphany:72157): WARNING **: Unable to connect to session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-dyUjnhLBwE: No such file or directory
TZAV> 

www/firefox36 runs fine for me.
It is built with dbus as well.

I understand I don't have to close
firefox36 in order to run epiphany, right?

Anyway, even when I close firefox36, I still
get the same error.
