The CSS of this page specifies Ezra SIL as first font for hebrew display.
When those fonts are installed on my linux box (Slackware 10 with X.org 6.8.1)
Firefox crashes. If I remove them from my font directory , everything runs fine.
When using arial unicode font ot SBL Hebrew unicode font,, there is no problem.
