This was annoying me so much, that I finally discovered it.
I noticed that root could also handle the problematic pages correctly.
The only logical thing I could think of that prevents something to work
for every users but one and root are permissions.
I realized that the following html would crash mozilla:
<html>
<body>
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="4" face="Arial">
Teste
</font>
</body>
</html>
Preety plain html code, though. If I take out the <font> tag, it works.
BINGO! I just downloaded Arial fonts two days ago... And it has the
wrong permissions on /usr/share/fonts/default/ttf.
A chmod 444 did the trick, everything is fine!
This could be corrected, it's preety dumb crash such an application just
because it cannot read a font...
