Bug description:
  Impact
  ======
  The GNOME Shell browser plugin is unstable when Epiphany (the GNOME Web browser app) access https://extensions.gnome.org/

  Steps to Reproduce
  ==================

  - From Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS or 16.10, install epiphany-browser
  - Browse to https://extensions.gnome.org/
  - Click around. Eventually, the gnome-shell plugin will crash. This might be triggered by visiting https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
  - You can tell it crashed because /var/crash/ will get a file that looks something like _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_webkit2gtk-4.0_WebKitPluginProcess.1000.crash

  Also, the website may display this message:

  "We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some
  parts of the interface may be disabled. See our troubleshooting entry
  for more information."

  - Reloading the page seems to work.

  Regression Potential
  ====================
  Minimal. This one-line change was applied to GNOME Shell 3.18+'s git branches.
