Firefox wont load pages until I restart the browser
I am running Firefox 44.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.11.3 with 16GB of Ram and an SSD. After a few minutes or hours of using firefox it just shows the spinning circle and does not load pages anymore and wont load any until I restart the browser. I know that internet connection is good because when using Google Chrome pages load fine. Is there anyway to solve this problem or atleast when it happens to fix it without having to restart the whole browser?

Experimental Features
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (3-bar Menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: 3-bar Menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
Still having issue
Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe web sites. Is the problem still there?
Yes issue is still there
Yuo have the problem in Firefox safe mode, that removes add-ons. You have the problem with the conputer in safe mode. That removes the other programs on your system. I am at a loss. Try this;
Install an older version of Firefox {web link}
