If it is site dependent, check for a problem with fonts.
I had this problem when accessing certain sites and found that there
was a font problem and makeing a link fixed all my crashes.
There was no zysong.ttf font on my system and creating a link from
zysnog.ttf > gbsn001p.ttf stopped 99.9% of my crashes.
This is in the following directory.
/usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType
There is a bug report on the RedHat site about this and is where I
found it.
