I'm on windows, so I don't crash (here ;-).
In that page is one link not encoded in ISO-8859-1, and I assume this font
problem is breaking your Mozilla. I isolated this in this testcase, but don't
know, if that crashes or not. Please test.

Thank you for your help.

I paste your extract in a source page of composer. Then I saved in a file and
open this in the browser. But no crash is happened with this. Same thing with an
html editor in mode text.

are you using a gtk1 or gtk2 build?  If you don't know, load about:buildconfig

you might be seeing bug 244340

Attachment: testcase #2

I made the first testcase using nVu, and now see a doctype was added, and the
source looks different to the original.
This time I used pn on a download of the html, but also don't know if the
garbage characters are reproduced originally.

Did you copy&paste from my comment 2? Then it can't work. You should have tested
testcase attachment 195181 [details]. This isn't quite the same as the original, so I
added testcase #2 Attachment 195283 [details]. Please test this.

Yes I think so.

With this attachment, I can confirm the bug. Mozilla crashes with the X server.
Yes, this attachment has the problem.

Attachment: reduced testcase

Validator about testcase 2:

Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8 File.

    The Unicode Byte-Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files is known to cause
problems for some text editors and older browsers. You may want to consider
avoiding its use until it is better supported.

Line 48 column 28: non SGML character number 129.
...
Line 49 column 84: non SGML character number 158.

in total there are 20 errormessages about non SGML characters.

Your about:buildconfig confirms you have a gtk1 build.  You can workaround the
xorg bug by disabling xfs (add the font directories directly to your xorg.conf
instead) or use a gtk2 build.
