I can second this on Fedora 28 but I don't have to open a website for it. Starting Steam is sufficient to cause periodic segfaults within steamwebhelper:
$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper.sh: line 5: 178 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./steamwebhelper "$@"
Maybe firejail is causing this, but I've found no other reports of this behavior or how to solve it on the web. So I don't think that's an jailing issue.
This seems to be fixed in the latest version of Steam. Thanks to whoever fixed it!
Hello @ritschmaster, is this issue also fixed for you?
Closing per @eiglow's comment.
I'm still seeing this on Fedora 28. Additionally the friends list doesn't open in the client, nor do message windows.

Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
steamwebhelper segfaults whenever I try to open a web page in the client, for example, when I open the store. The page fails to load and I'm taken back to my library. Additionally, all friends features are not working, the friends list, any chat windows, whatever, they don't come up, as well as appearing offline to all of my friends.
In addition, it fails to upload the crashdump, with the output of
Unexpected crash report id length, followed byFailed to get crash dump id.andReport Id: Discarded=1I tried using the flatpak version of Steam, which doesn't have this problem, but flatpak has it's own limitations which I'm unable to get around.
I don't know of any steps to reproduce this issue on other systems, it's possible that it's just me.
