@jacob11 as you can see from my screenshots above, Firefox was never running when the freezes happened.

It sounds like there are multiple causes. In my case I would not pin it on the particular software I was using, just the fact that the RAM got used up and for some reason Linux Mint would rather freeze and die than kill the process that is taking all the RAM in order to keep the system running. In others it seems to be video card related, but I can say in my case I never disabled hardware acceleration and have been running Firefox and Chromium for a couple weeks now without another hard freeze happening.
