While working on removing support for `application/http-index-format` (Bug 1824325), I noticed the following bug. To reproduce:

1. Set up webserver which responds with a [valid directory listing](https://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/dirindexformat), for example `100: You seem to have gotten the directory listing!` and with content type `application/http-index-format` (One such server is running at https://http-index-format.polar.onl via nginx 1.18.0-6ubuntu14.4)
2. Visit that server

Expected result: We see a directory listing with the content "You seem to have gotten the directory listing!"
Actual result: We get the error "Gah. Your tab just crashed." with not much more information

This only seems to happen on real websites and not on pages like file:/// or resource:///, which use the same content type to display the directory listing. Additionally, every time the crash happens, I see `[Parent 45727, IPC I/O Parent] WARNING: process 46877 exited on signal 11: file /home/maltejur/mozilla-unified-3/ipc/chromium/src/base/process_util_posix.cc:265` in the terminal.

As we probably want to remove web-facing support for that content type anyways, I am not sure if a direct fix is event required. I still wanted to report this issue though, because maybe it is a wider issue that is not just affecting `application/http-index-format`.
