Does firefox print anything on terminal or in ~/.xsession-errors ? Check
about:addons for possible culprits (plugins[1], extensions, user scripts).
Try running firefox with an empty profile. Maybe install NoScript and
gradually enable domains until the hang reappears.

[1] When updating linux- plugins make sure to run

      $ nspluginwrapper -a -v -i
