I wanted to go to a South Park site so I started typing "South Park" and as soon as I typed "so" the browser hung.

I tried a few times after Force Quiting and everytime I type the letters "so" the browser hangs and no I am not crazy.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
