100 times a day, Firefox is getting stucked for 40+ seconds and them freezes completely, while the rest of the PC is in perfect function.

When it freezes, the mouse pointer displays like if it was thinking and I can't simply do anything inside Firefox and the open page, however, the rest of the computer seems completely operational as I can open anything else from the Start Menu or opening any files... Then, 40+ seconds later, it becomes normal again... I don't think it happens on a regular time basis, but it happens many times in the day, some more continuous and it is becoming a real pain! I even re-started the computer a couple of times and nothing!... Honestly, I have been loyal to Firefox and still prefer it, but need a quick solution!... Please HELP! I tried Chrome -just for proving- and it didn't happened in 2 hours, then went back to Firefox (my fav browser) and keeps freezing with the message: "Mozilla Firefox is not responding" in the upper left corner... HELP PLEASE!!!!
