Jshark, I have been experiencing this exact same behavior for months. I have tried disabling all addons other than firebug, and it seems to be something in firebug that's causing the issue. I eventually got another addon called "Restart Button" that adds an icon I can click to restart FF when it becomes unresponsive. When I click this button and it's in *Situation #2*, FF will crash after a minute or 2 and then I can restart. I've sent over 100 crash reports due to this, because it happens multiple times a day. If it's still in *Situation #1*, it will be able to restart.
It's really frustrating.
