From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I imagine a lot of a browser's codebase looks like this. From what I understand, browsers expect webmasters to screw up their markup and make allowances for it.
I love Firefox and understand that making modern web browser is monumentally complex, but browser should not crash what ever some website does.
That said, my Fennec is having problem with googlw images.
Sometimes crashing would be better than trying to beat wonky code into shape: https://samy.pl/myspace/tech.html
But on principle I agree. I can't say whether Google Images works or not on my Firefox browser, because I'm using Mojeek.
True, sometimes it is unavoidable.
But this looks like kernel issue, it is fixed in kernel 4.20.
