I've have had the same problem these past couple of months, I would blame it on my connection but Firefox wasn't doing this before. I don't have a known solution to fix this but you're not alone with this problem. I plan on running Firefox with firefox -safe-mode for a while and then if that doesn't do it I'll remove it then upgrade to the latest version.
