I don’t see this on other x86_64 machines; among those computers that I
have access to, only the T60 is affected, which is why I thought it
might simply be a hardware problem.

No, this happens with just one tab.  I found that I couldn’t get it to
crash with a simply static website like https://elephly.net, but it
would crash somewhat reliably with sites that embed media.
