I've noticed this kind of thing happening not just here, but anywhere since I upgraded to Firefox 3.5.2. Websites hang for no apparent reason when I have multiple tabs open. I often get impatient and close the browser. I then have to open my processes and manually shut down the Firefox.exe, or it fails when I try to launch it again. Then when I open it and go back to the site where it was hanging, it fires right up.
I'm wondering if this is a Firefox upgrade issue.
