Can you help me with why Firefox hangs several times a day regardless of what website I visit?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17 on a 1.67 GHz PowerPC PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It doesn't matter what website I'm visiting, but Firefox will hang and become unresponsive as I navigate between sites like hulu.com, weather.com, music.aol.com, and google.com.

Recently FireFox stops responding & I have to terminate it with the task manager & restart it. I am using Windows XP Home Edition SP3 with 2GB memory. I am running FireFox v4.0.1. This is more irritating than having to reboot because my free memory is too small after becoming unavailable by using FireFox. That also is a chronic problem...
