Hi, Thanks for reporting this bug.

Is there a particular site or time which causes the crash, or is it just random?

Please see if this is caused by extension. Start firefox in safe-mode
and tell us if this goes away. To do so:

 # firefox -safe-mode

from a console/terminal.

Thanks,

It happen randomly. Yesterday it happen two times on that site :
http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/ but not today. I think it happen more
often when there is more than one tab open and I scroll very fast. I will
continue to check and give you more detail the next time it happen. I didn't
use safe mode today because i was not able to reproduce the freeze on the
regular opening

Have you tried browsing with firefox in safe mode, as Alexander
suggested?

Can you please disable your extensions one at a time until it stops freezing and let us the know last one that you disabled and it stoppped freezing. Can you also please list all extensions and themes that are installed.

This has happened to me many times. Also happens when you open a pdf file, and the file is opened with Document Viewer in a new window. If you scroll long enough the whole computer will freeze. If it happens with Document Viewer aswell perhaps it is not directly related to firefox? Ill let the pro's decide. (Latest versions of Firefox and Ubuntu)

Is this still a problem?
