This has been happening with the last few versions including v32. It always crashes a lot when go to the California State Lottery website (logging in) - it crashed zillions of time and then I have restart it in safe mode.

What happens most of the day is it hangs and hangs. . . when I do the task manager - under background processes - it shows Firefox on many lines if i click the red x in the upper right corner it will say I have 2 (or more) tabs open when I only have one open

So usually I have to kill all the background processes and the one Apps running and it will be ok for a while

If it is only on that specific website and other browsers work with it, I suspect Mozilla changed something in their code that clashes with some programming on that website. Maybe the website is not 100% conform to the standards Firefox is or it uses some discontinued / changed API or even an exploit.

Would be interesting to know which version of Firefox is the first to have this problem, that could hint at the change that's causing the crash.
