No crashes here: updated Fedora 21 with FF 36, FreeType git snapshot.

Thanks for the report. However, I have no possibility to analyze Firefox or konqueror bugs directly. BTW, I have randomly checked the link

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2517761

and it doesn't crash for me: FireFox 36.0, openSuSE 13.2 32bit, updated with `zypper up', FreeType 2.5.5 (manually compiled from sources).

So maybe upgrading to FreeType 2.5.5 does help.

I have to close it as `wontfix' since it is too generic, sorry.
Hopefully you can find a possibility to make it crash for FireFox developers too.

Some web pages crash Firefox and Konqueror. The crash reports for Firefox implicate libfreetype. The last several crash reports for Firefox:
