Steps to reproduce:

1. Select "Restart with add-ons disabled"
2. Visit any of the following pages

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Huvudsida
https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forside
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Accueil_principal
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoofdpagina
https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicipaedia:Pagina_prima

What happened:

Page begins loading, but crashes after a second or two, displaying the error page "Gah. Your tab just crashed.".

---

MORE INFO

Crashes both in a private window and in a normal window.

The main pages of these Wikipedias don't cause the tab to crash:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite
https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etusivu
https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9

And even if the main page causes the tab to crash, not every page on the Wikipedia causes a crash:

• Doesn't crash: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla
• Crashes: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox

Turns out this is actually a duplicate of a different bug. I have adjusted the dup resolution above.
