Did you report those crashers?

Mozilla doesn't provide any embedding APIs, which is why the majority of
our apps that require a embedded web view use WebKit. And the ones that
don't use WebKit are slowly getting ported to it (the outlier here is
Evolution which still uses GtkHTML).

So even if we wanted to, we couldn't use a gecko/mozilla based web view
in gnome-control-center or pretty much anywhere in the GNOME stack.
