Bug ID: 246687
Summary: www/firefox tab crashes on some sites with their own
fonts
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)

If firefox is configured to allow pages to choose their own fonts and you visit
a uk government website (https://www.gov.uk/) the tab crashes.
If you configure firefox to disallow pages to choose their own fonts the tab
works fine.
This has been happening for some time (at least 3 months, but possibly much
longer). I just tried this with firefox-76.0_3,1 on FreeBSD 12.1 amd64 and with
a brand new profile.
Note that with firefox for OS X this doesn't happen, so the issue appears to be
specific to FreeBSD.
I am a very heavy user of firefox on FreeBSD and this only ever seems to happen
for uk government websites, they seem to provide their own fonts.
