All browsers crash on a few sites (well except for w3m and eww)

I can't view the following page with any of the major graphical browsers:

http://doc.rust-lang.org/master/intro.html

Firefox starts eating lots of memory and then crashes (core dumped) without an error (same for conkeror). Chromium displays the 'aw, snap!' page (no specific errors either). I've even tried Midori with no luck. I've checked the page source and it doesn't seem to use anything special. Tried with safe mode, disabled hw acceleration, disabled plugins & extensions, did reset profile, turned of javascript & images, etc.

I have an up-to-date system and using the nvidia binary blob. Doesn't happen on the same hardware (with identical browser versions) on Debian stable or even FreeBSD.

Same behavior on thecodinglove.com too. Might as well stick to eww :-)

The open in Chromium and Firefox here as well.

Look in the journal and/or run the browser in terminal and report back the output from when you visit the sites. That should tell us what's going on.

Terminal output from Firefox (same in Conkeror):

[1]    2473 bus error (core dumped)  firefox

Terminal output from Midori:

[1]    2544 bus error (core dumped)  midori

In Chromium only the tab crashes, so I have no "crash message"

Heh, apparently

/usr/share/fonts/adobe-source-code-pro/SourceCodePro-Regular.otf

had a BTRFS csum failure. I reinstalled it using

pacman -S adobe-source-code-pro-fonts

and now it works. Seems like browsers try to load this font on these pages.
