Have you tried to turn off "Hardware acceleration " ? Goto menu>option>advanced>general . Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available. May be any of installed plugin or extension cause this . So, turn them from active to "never active " and see if the problem gone. menu>addon>plugin>choose from list and turn them off. similarly do with extensions .

Install Yescript and In the YesScript Blacklist dialog, type the URL of the site that's giving you problems in the text box. (do this after restarting firefox and then go to addons tab>extension ).
