I seem to have tripped over a possible workaround... IF I open an instance of Firefox, then don't use it, but instead open other instances when I actually want to browse, when I shut down all the instances (I usually have 3 or 4 running) I don't have this problem seemingly regardless of the browser activity I have had going on... Granted it takes a little memory, but that's better than the inconvenience of dealing with the hung process...
