Try launching Firefox in Safe Mode, browse a few web pages and then exit. If this fixes the problem, then most likely one of your Extensions or Add-Ons is causing the problem.
Start, Run: firefox -safe-mode
Stuck in Memory on close.
Hanging at exit is most often caused by an Extension or a Plugin.
Kill Application In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the Processes tab? See: Kill Application

Safe Mode You may need to use Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
I've copied the above and will get back the next time it happens.
Thanks for the info.
