Firefox intermittently hangs up entire system while "transfering data" from a website linking. I have to cold boot to get control of my system again. How to I stop or prevent website loadings from stealing my computer?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
