Title:
  Xorg crashes at certain wiki pages via firefox

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I am having a weird problem in Ubuntu and I will try to explain when
  it happens. When I open Wikipedia main page or View history on any
  wiki page, sometimes (not always) Xorg (I suppose) freezes (UI becomes
  unresponsive for a while about 10-60 seconds) until it jumps to login
  screen. If I login, I need to start all the application all over
  again. Firefox starts but if I repeat the same process (visiting the
  same web page) Xorg crashes again. The two pages so far this behaviour
  occurs are:

  http://en.wikipedia.org (main page, I can however directly open any article and navigate from there)
  http://imagej.net/index.php?title=ImgLib2_Examples&action=history (history page of a wiki page)

  There are no dialogs after the crash reporting about a crash. I really don't know how to track the problem to find the cause.
  Even though Firefox is chrashing, Xorg should not be affected.

  I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
