The link here is to the output of the crash.
The link that causes the crash is an AD from the us army to a url at cryptarismission.com. If you use fedora and an AMD graphics card do not go to that site unless you want to risk crashing

Does the Xorg.0.log give any clues? This is one reason I'm hesitant to use a more bleeding edge distro (assuming this doesn't affect X in general).

I'm heading to sleep, I will check the logs in the AM.

If Firefox is crashing the OS then there is something that has access to the lowest layers of the kernel. Firefox does not have access to these layers directly. Likely it is video drivers.

Wow. That is a very fancy site. And no flash, so just HTML5? (EDIT: info: 01, 02)
But I experience some heavy CPU load on Windows as well.
EDIT:
But I experience some noticeable impact on CPU load on Windows as well - ~20-80% (I believe it was)
depending on the state of what's rendering on that site/what has finished rendering - can go up, and drop some again as well - on a non-workhorse/non-top-of-the-line/iGPU laptop.

It looks like a bug with the X server or your drivers. It seems you're using prerelease X, which if it is the case, file a bug with the xorg developers.
