Why does Firefox often become nonresponsive?

After being open for several hours, Firefox often becomes non-responsive, and I have to ask windows to force it to close so I can reopen it. This does not happen with Chrome.

HI Phil, I do not know why it becomes unresponsive, but I would be happy to suggest work arounds.

I hope this helps.
