Firefox won't load web pages, but problem gets temporarily fixed when I quit the application

Firefox has become my new favorite web browser of choice. I recently started having a problem, however. After I have been using firefox for a period of time, it stops loading webpages for me. I will search something or type a website into the search bar but nothing will happen. I know my internet is working because other browsers work just fine. The interesting thing is that when I close out of firefox and quit the application on my mac and reopen, the problem is resolved for a short period of time then it will start happening again. Any tips of what to do?

That is really odd and sounds like a bug. How long is this period of time roughly? One could always create a bookmark to 'about:restartrequired' just to see if that is any faster.
