(Keywords: crash) 

The browser crashes when a page with an empty object element is contained in 
it. While I agree it is a wrong syntax, I think it should in no way produce a 
crash.

Could you please produce a testcase for us?
Yep, sorry. I'm behind a firewall and can't upload. So bear with the code 
pasted here:

      object {width: 300px; height: 100px;}

      #obj2 {position: absolute; top:100px; left:300px;}
    </style>
  </head>

  <body>
    <object data="object.htm" type="text/html" id="obj1">
    <object data="object.htm" type="text/html" id="obj2">

Er, maybe you could also need some other information: I'm using build 05-23 on 
a Windows NT. Crashed always, no matter how I loaded the file: dragged from 
desktop, opened with file / open. The only thing I couldn't test is when 
loading it from other than the local computer.
I iploaded the testcase here :

See also bug #83066 which is either related or actually the same bug (different
symptoms though)
HTML Element component is deprecated, and should be removed from Bugzilla.
Clayton is not the correct owner for these. Reassigning to layout.
