The freezing seems to occur mainly with Ghostery & Adblock add ons.
Because when I disable them, freezing subsides. I had the same issue with
ubuntu - until I changed to Lubuntu with the hope a lighter version will
solve the problem.
Other than that I have no clue why since upgrade to ubuntu/lubuntu 18.10

Thanks, Daniel

I think I have solved the problem. The issue was. I decided to change my OS
from ubuntu 18.10 to Lubuntu one. Before doing so, I backed up the "Home"
onto USB drive up using Deja dup app.
Then installed Lubuntu - selecting "erase Disk" option, then restored the
Home. After my reply above, I decided to uninstall all the add ons on the
Firefox. Restarted the browser & installed the add on. The freeze seem to
have gone.

Thanks
