load any url via another app, like an rss reader (tested with liferea and akregator)

Actual results:

firefox will crash within a few seconds if you do additional action like change tabs or navigate, not every single time but 2 out of 3.

Expected results:

no crash

Do you have a crash from about:crashes by any chance?
