Can we make a test for this?

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBlock.cpp:5179
> +                RenderObject* oldRemainingText = oldFirstLetter->firstLetterRemainingText();

You should use a tighter type than RenderObject* here, since firstLetterRemainingText() returns a RenderTextFragment.
I would use auto, like so:

    auto oldRemainingText = oldFirstLetter->firstLetterRemainingText();

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBlock.cpp:5180
> +                if (oldRemainingText && oldRemainingText->isText()) {

isText() here will always be true.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBlock.cpp:5183
> +                    toRenderText(oldRemainingText)->setText(toText(oldRemainingText->node())->data().impl());

If you use a tighter type like I suggested above, this line could become:
oldRemainingText->setText(oldRemainingText->textNode()->data());

I don't know the exact case that can reproduce this crash because it happened in ClusterFuzz:
https://codereview.chromium.org/25713009/

Done.

Done.

This needs a comment about why we don't have a test.

Can we use auto instead of spelling out RenderBoxModelObject twice here?
0 -> nullptr

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBlock.cpp:5183
> +                    createFirstLetterRenderer(firstLetterBlock, toRenderText(remainingText));

We will now only call createFirstLetterRenderer() if oldFirstLetter is a RenderBoxModelObject and there was an oldRemainingText.
Is this intentional, or should it go after the two if blocks?

Done.

This is intentional because we can remove the old first letter by running setText and then create a new one. These operations should be done together.

Ok, r=me.

You don't need the toRenderText() here.

But, there is a build error:
../../Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderBlock.cpp:5183:78: error: invalid conversion from 'WebCore::RenderObject*' to 'WebCore::RenderText*' [-fpermissive]

Oh, you're right! I confused it with oldRemainingText. Sorry about that :)
