It always crashes with certain pages. I can open these pages with other browsers, and can open them with Firefox on different machines. But some pages crash Firefox every time.

The computer in question is a late 2012 iMac, running os x 10.9.5, and using Firefox 43.0.4

Here's a sample page that crashes every time

All 5 crashes are for the same issue. Firefox 43.0.4 Crash Report [@ CTFontCopyFamilyName ]

Sorry, not a Mac user and I have no idea what that type of crash is about. You'll have to wait for another contributor to help you later today. But meanwhile, you might try troubleshooting your extensions to see if one of them might be contributing to those crashes.

I started up with all of the extensions turned off, and still got the crashes. My understanding is that this eliminates them. Correct?

That is true.

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
