Are you getting any error messages? I would expect "bus error" or
something. You might see evidence of it in dmesg as well.
If you get "bus error", then it's most likely yet another case of
unaligned memory accesses in the code somewhere. The simplest way to
get some useful stack trace out of it is to follow these steps:
1. Install iceweasel debugging symbols (iceweasel-dbg package).
2. Enable core dumping with 'ulimit -c unlimited'.
3. Start iceweasel, navigate to one of the crashing pages, it should
dump a core file.
4. Use gdb to obtain an annotated backtrace, something like
gdb /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin core
(gdb) bt
Once this is done, file a bug against iceweasel, including the entire
stack trace.
