Maybe

helps. Still waiting for confirmation before applying to FreeType's git...
A temporary alternative would be to build FreeType without SVG support.

This can't be happening to everyone (firefox crashing) or there would be more complaints. So why is it happening to some of us? Are we missing or using fonts or libraries others are not?
The only clue I have is both firefox and pycharm opened /usr/share/fonts/truetype/SourceCodePro-Regular.otf and fell over right afterward.
If a fix is not imminent, is there are there libraries or fonts I can remove to work around the problem. I've currently moved /etc/fonts to /etc/fonts.disabled (but that causes issues with some PDF documents when viewed in okular).
I uninstalled both packages containing the SourceCodePro font from my system (texlive-sourcecodepro-fonts, adobe-sourcecodepro-fonts) and the problem seems to be gone for now.
I really would prefer reinstalling the packages after an upstream bugfix solves the problem.
